Description

The purpose of this group is to exchange information on finding, breeding and identifying U.K. Lepidoptera. The aim is to build a database containing hints and tips for finding and breeding all UK species, particularly those species which are 'difficult' to rear in captivity. Topics could also include alternative foodplants, methods of hibernating larvae, livestock exchange etc. Written Hints and Tips will be posted in PDF files in the Files Area and Pictures of the early stages of butterflies and moths in the Photos area of this forum.

A series of photographs illustrating the eggs, caterpillars, pupae and adults of many species of butterflies and moths can be found on our website at http://www.ukleps.org/

If you are also interested in other insect groups you should join the Amateur Entomologists' Society Bug Club forum at:- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bugclub/
