Which British moth deserves more appreciation than its butterfly cousins?

With its striking magenta and green colouring, this moth looks more tropical than British. Its caterpillar's trunk-like snout gives the species its name.

Once common across British gardens, its chocolate-and-cream forewings and fiery orange hindwings are now a rarer sight. A symbol of how quickly familiar species can vanish.

Often mistaken for a tiny bird as it hovers at buddleia, this migrant is appearing more frequently as the UK climate warms. A genuine garden marvel.

Famous from Silence of the Lambs, this rare migrant sports a skull pattern on its thorax and can actually squeak when alarmed. Pure Gothic theatre.

With four prominent eyespots and feathery antennae, the male emperor can detect a female from miles away. A heathland icon worth protecting.
