Diese taxono- mische Einheit umfasst in Europa innerhalb der Schmetterlinge die artenreichste Familie der Noctuidae (Eulenfalter), ebenfalls die Nolidae, Notodontidae, Euteliidae und nach neuesten taxonomischen Erkenntnissen auch die Familie der Erebidae. In die Letztere wurden mittlerweile auch die ehemaligen Familien der Arctiidae (Bärenspinner) und der Lymantriidae (Trägspinner) als Unterfamilien inkludiert. Die Neuaufstellung erfordert die Zusammenführung der Abb. 1: Auch der Schwammspinner (Lymantria dispar) zählt mittlerweile zu den ursprünglichen Sammlung des Landesmuseums mit den Erebidae und somit zu den Eulenfaltern im weiteren Sinne.

    April 3, 2020 Theodore Payne Foundation’s Wild Flower Hotline is made possible by donations, memberships and sponsors. You can support TPF by shopping the online gift store as well. A new, pay by phone, contactless plant pickup system is now available. Details here. It is important to note that driving to a wild flower viewing site is now very difficult. There are strict closures of entry roads, parking lots, restrooms, picnic areas and some trails in addition to Visitor Centers and campgrounds at National, State and County parks and reserves. In most cases you need to be a local resident to enter trails that are still accessible to foot or bicycle visitors. If you are out on trails, please practice social distancing precautions. Situations change quickly, so it is advised that you check on websites before venturing out. A list of some web links appears at the end of the report. That said, the weather has been cool so the blooms of last week are still mostly intact. In the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, parking lots and other amenities at trailheads are closed, but the park remains accessible to local day-use walkers, hikers and bicyclists. The National Park Service urges all visitors to follow social distancing protocols. Please avoid crowding or gathering on trails. Speaking of access to locals, a resident of the Santa Monica Mountains who lives on Stunt Rd. near the Stunt Ranch, was able to walk across the street and enter one of the small trails that eventually leads to the popular Backbone Trail.

Catching was done in the evening and night hours, using a method of the vividly attracting to the light. Flying moths were photographed on-site for later determination. A total of 13 catches were carried out with an average at intervals of 1-2 weeks. Over 60 moths species were determined, mostly belonging to the families Geometridae and Erebidae. When analyzing the results of catches, basic weather parameters such as temperature, air pressure and moon phase were taken into account. KEYWORDS: moths, nocturnal butterflies, Heterocera, Geometridae, Erebidae, rapid inventory Introduction The butterflies (lepidopterans and moths) are one of the best known among all groups of insects. Among more than 160 thousands species occurring worldwide, there are 3258 butterfly species described only in Poland and belonging to 69 families. Butterflies with the night activity called usually the moths belong to 164 families, while those with daily activity count only 6 families.

  • Climate Change and Shifts in the Distribution of Moth Species in Finland, with a Focus on the Province of Kainuu
    14 Climate Change and Shifts in the Distribution of Moth Species in Finland, with a Focus on the Province of Kainuu Juhani H. Itämies1, Reima Leinonen2 and V. Benno Meyer-Rochow3,4 1Kaitoväylä 25 A 6; SF-90570 Oulu; 2Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment for Kainuu, Kajaani, 3Faculty of Engineering and Sciences, Jacobs University Bremen, Research II, D-28759 4Bremen and Department of Biology; Oulu University; SF-90014 Oulu, 1,2,3Finland 4Germany 1. Introduction Distributions and abundances of insect species depend on a variety of factors, but whether we focus on food plants and availability, environmental niches and shelters, predators or parasites, by far the most important limiting factor is climate. Shifts in insect community structure have successfully been correlated with glacial and inter-glacial periods (Coope 1995; Ashworth 1997; Morgan 1997), but have also attracted the attention of researchers concerned with current climate trends. Parmesan (2001) and Forester et al. (2010) examined examples from North America and Europe and emphasized that predictions of responses to a warmer climate must incorporate observations on habitat loss or alteration, land management and dispersal abilities of the species in question. For the United Kingdom, Hill et al. (2001) have summarized data on changes in the distribution of specifically three butterfly species (Pararge aegeria, Aphantopus hyperantus, and Pyronia tithonus). These authors report that the three species have been shifting northward since the 1940s and they present maps of simulated butterfly distributions for the period 2070-2099, based on the changes seen since the 1940s. According to that scenario Iceland will see some colonies of these three species in less than a hundred years.
