Butterflies and Moths of North East England.

Please click on the links below for information on the butterflies and moths that are found in Northumberland, Durham and Teesside.  The links for moths currently link to a check-list for Northumberland only although it is hoped to extend this to Durham in due course.  T C Dunn and J D Parrack's 'The Moths and Butterflies of Northumberland and Duham' published in 1986 by the Northern Naturalist's Union provides coverage of both counties, although the status of a number of species has of course changed since it was published whilst further recording and surveying has extended our knowledge of the range of other species.  Although out of print, this book, which also includes distribution maps, may be accessible through various local libraries.
