12 June 2021: We are delighted to announce the publication of the Dorset Moths (VC9) Annual Report for 2020 (online only). A pdf version of the document (953 KB) can be downloaded free of charge here.

2020 saw a large increase in moth recording within Dorset (VC9). Almost 85,000 records were submitted, an increase of around a third from the three previous years. The Report sets out the year's highlights and lists significant macro and micro-moth records for the vice-county. Overall recording statistics are presented, with a summary of important migrant moth records and a number of other articles.

The verification team would like to express its thanks to all of the recorders who have submitted their Dorset moth records for 2020 - many of which are featured in the Report.
