This Hampshire & Isle of Wight regional website, affiliated with the Butterfly and Moth Society, is for enthusiasts interested in the butterfly and moth fauna of Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and surrounding areas.

We encourage you to participate in our organised events and, in particular, we'd like to encourage you to submit your news, especially your sightings from the area.

If you would like to be kept informed of our activities and events, then please subscribe. By doing so, you automatically become a member of our rapidly growing community. We do not charge a membership fee but will soon be implementing a mechanism for people to donate in support of our work - watch this space!
