  • Moths of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
    MOTHS OF UMATILLA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE: Results from 10 sites Sampled May 22-23, 2017 Dana Ross 1005 NW 30th Street Corvallis, OR 97330 (541) 758-3006 [email protected] SUMMARY Macro-moths were sampled from the Umatilla National Wildlife Refuge for a third time 22-23 May, 2017 as part of an ongoing pollinator inventory. Blacklight traps were deployed for a single night at ten sites representative of major plant communities in the McCormack and Paterson Units. A grand total of 331 specimens and 36 moth species were sampled. Of those, 17 species (47%) were documented from the refuge for the first time. In a somewhat larger geographical context, 21 species were recorded for the first (8), second (7) or third (6) time from Morrow County, Oregon while 4 species were documented for the first (1) or second (3) time from Benton County, Washington. INTRODUCTION National Wildlife Refuges protect important habitats for many plant and animal species. Refuge inventories have frequently included plants, birds and mammals, but insects - arguably the most abundant and species-rich group in any terrestrial habitat - have largely been ignored. Small size, high species richness and a lack of identification resources have all likely contributed to their being overlooked. Certain groups such as moths, however, can be easily and inexpensively sampled using light traps and can be identified by regional moth taxonomists. Once identified, many moth species can be tied to known larval hostplant species at a given site, placing both insect and plant within a larger ecological context. Moths along with butterflies belong to the insect Order Lepidoptera.

Traps baited with floral chemicals on the island of Hawaii captured several pest moth species. Chrysodeixis eriosoma (Doubleday) (green garden looper), Au- tographa biloba (Doubleday) (bi-lobed looper), and Mythimna unipuncta (Haworth) (true armyworm), all Noctuidae, as well as Hymenia recurvalis (L.) (beet webworm), a Crambidae, were trapped with phenylacetaldehyde (PAA). There was no response by moths to β-myrcene (BM), methyl salicylate (MS), cis jasmone (CJ), methyl-2-methoxy benzoate (MMB), 2-phenylethanol (2PE), or linalool (LIN) when these chemicals were tested singly. When other floral chemicals were presented in traps with PAA, numbers of C. eriosoma captured were increased by BM, MS, 2PE or MMB. Numbers of A. biloba and Peridroma saucia (Hübner) (variegated cutworm) were increased by including BM with PAA in traps. Numbers of M. unipuncta were increased by BM or 2PE, and numbers of H. recurvalis were increased by MMB or LIN, presented with PAA. Both sexes of these five species of moths were trapped with floral lures, most females captured were mated, and many females possessed mature eggs.

  • Lepidoptera (Moths and Butterflies) at Inverness Ridge in Central Coastal California and Their Recovery Following a Wildfire
    LEPIDOPTERA (MOTHS AND BUTTERFLIES) AT INVERNESS RIDGE IN CENTRAL COASTAL CALIFORNIA AND THEIR RECOVERY FOLLOWING A WILDFIRE J. A. Powell Essig Museum of Entomology, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720 Abstract.— In numbers of species, Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) make up the largest group of plant-feeding animals in North America. Caterpillars of nearly all species feed on plants, and most of them are specialists on one or a few kinds of plants. Therefore they are liable to be severely affected by wildfires, and secondarily, their parasites and predators, including birds, bats, lizards, and rodents, suffer losses of a major food resource. In October 1995, a wildfire swept over part of The Point Reyes National Seashore, burning more than 12,300 acres (5,000 hectares) of public and private land, following a fire-free period of several decades. I tracked survival and recolonization by moths and butterflies during the subsequent five seasons. I made daytime searches for adults and caterpillars approximately monthly from March through October and collected blacklight trap samples, mostly in May and September-October. More than 650 species of Lepidoptera have been recorded in the Inverness Ridge area, and about 375 of them were recorded during the post-fire survey, including larvae of 31% of them. Plants in a Bishop pine forest higher on the ridge, where the fire was most intense, accumulated their caterpillar faunas slowly, while Lepidoptera feeding on plants typical of riparian woods in the lower canyons reestablished sooner and more completely. Recolonization varied markedly among different plant species, and the species richness gradually increased, in marked contrast to generalizations about effects of fire on arthropods derived from fire management of grasslands.

  • Lepidoptera Recorded on Santa Catalina Island
    LEPIDOPTERA RECORDED ON SANTA CATALINA ISLAND compiled by Jerry A. Powell August 2004; revised Jan. 2012 INTRODUCTION. --- HISTORY OF LEPIDOPTERA INVENTORY ON SANTA CATALINA ISLAND, CALIFORNIA Santa Catalina Island is the third largest of the eight Channel Islands off the coast of southern California. It is the largest and nearest to the mainland (ca. 20 miles) of the four southern islands and historically has been the most easily accessible to visitors, some of whom collected Lepidoptera long before any were recorded on the other islands. Catalina island has an area of 76 mi2 (122 km2) and is about 21 miles (34 km) long and 8 miles (13 km) wide near its center. The island is mountainous, with a central ridge along its length, reaching elevations of 2,097’ (670m) and 2,010’ (648m). The flora is diverse, 2nd only to Santa Cruz among the CA islands, with more than 400 native species of vascular plants and 175+ introduced taxa. It is the only CA island open to the public, receiving daily residential and tourist traffic, with ferry and air transportation to and from Avalon (3,000 resident population) and Two Harbors (200 residents) (Schoenherr et al. 1999). The town of Avalon was founded as a potential resort in 1887, and later the island was purchased by the Banning family, who formed the Santa Catalina Island Company and completed work on Avalon, which they promoted as a fishing resort. By the 1890s photographs taken around Avalon indicate extensive vegetation stripping by feral goats and sheep. Feral ruminants were excluded from the southeastern portion of the island following its purchase by Wm.

Catalog: Oregon State Arthropod Collection 3(2) (beta version). http://dx.doi.org/10.5399/osu/cat_osac.3.2.4596 Introduction These records were generated using funds from the LepNet project (Seltmann et al. 2017) - a national effort to create digital records for North American Lepidoptera. The dataset published herein contains the label data for all North American specimens of Crambidae in the collection as of March 2019. This dataset is not complete, as portions of our North American Pyralidae remain to be digitized. This will be accomplished with a future dataset. A beta version of these data records will be made available on the OSAC server (http://osac.oregonstate.edu/IPT) at the time of this publication. The beta version will be replaced in the near future with an official release (version 1.0), which will be archived as a supplemental file to this paper. Methods Basic digitization protocols and metadata standards can be found in (Shepard et al. 2018). Identifications for this family are tricky, especially in the Pacific Northwest where the pyraloid fauna remains relatively unstudied.
