Just seen the Emperor moths on Natural World and would like to see some, can anyone tell me where to find them a bit nearer to home in South Cambs.

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark, here's a site I presume you haven't seen before...
Bear in mind it's by no means complete, and many species can be easily found outside of the shown areas by searching appropriate habitat.

Michael Majerus, in the New Naturalist "Moths", tells how at least 20 male Emperor moths assembled to a female he had bred in captivity in Cambridge. This was in the 1980s, and perhaps things are different now.
