Please note: Caterpillars, eggs and pupae of moths are included in
the UTB Moth Species Count, so please
keep your eyes open for these other life stages. Some moths, such as
the Striped Lychnis,
are rarely seen in the adult form but can be found quite easily as
caterpillars. The Species Count
will only be increased by one even if all 4 life stages of a moth have
been found during the year.
