The Butterflies and Moths on display in Sidmouth Museum are part of a collection made in the 1940s by a Sidmouth resident.  Most were collected locally.

Other specimens have been provided by Sidmouth Library and members of the Sid Valley Biodiversity Group (SVBG).

Information is available on wildlife in the Sid Valley and elsewhere on the SVBG website.  If you use the QR code on the front of this booklet then you can access the website and subscribe free to their newsletter if you wish.

Sidmouth Library have a small display of exhibits on their nature table. Some of them can be handled.

If you require any further information about the display or have comments to make then please speak to a member of the volunteer staff.  If they cannot help then please leave a note with your request, name and contact details, and someone will get back to you.

On behalf of the staff at Sidmouth Museum, we hope that you enjoy the display.
