Northamptonshire Macro Moth Recording

Request for Information/Records from the County Recorder

I have been co-ordinating Northants moth records for some years now and have a good spread of records covering most of the county. Due to the size of the area concerned there are however a few grid squares that are poorly covered. As there appears to be an increase in moth recording recently I wonder if anyone who either lives or records in any of the under recorded squares has any records that I am unaware of.

The map of VC32 (Vice County 32 - Northamptonshire) shows the coverage in terms of pre and post 1980 records. Some of the better recorded squares have around 400 species whereas others have none.
