2020 Annual Report

In the following pages are listed in systematic order all species for which records were submitted for 2020. The report is produced automatically from the county databases of Hampshire and Isle of Wight, and as such, can easily be amended if errors or omissions are identified. I would appreciate any such corrections are highlighted to me so that this record can be an accurate record of the year into the future.

A summary is provided for every species, incorporating the narrative as used in the relevant species account of the main website, and a summary of previous records by vice-county, and for the year under review. For species seen in 2020 that had less than or equal to 100 records, full details are included; for more common species, the earliest, latest and highest count by vice-county are shown. The narrative for each species is taken from the main Hantsmoths website, and it is possible that some information on abundance and occurrence can get out of date, as it is impossible to keep up with all changes; however it should give a good introduction to each species. Initials in the species accounts refer to the recorders listed here.

Please get in touch if you identify any omissions or errors, in particular if you have records that have yet to be submitted. Details of how to submit records can be found here.
