Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity, Department of Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523 Abstract A list of 1531 species ofLepidoptera is presented, collected over 15 years (1988 to 2002), in eleven southern West Virginia counties. A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

  • Botolph's Bridge, Hythe Redoubt, Hythe Ranges West And
    Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR13 G (Botolph’s Bridge, Hythe Redoubt, Hythe Ranges West, and Nickolls Quarry) The tetrad TR13 G contains a number of major local hotspots, with Nickolls Quarry, the Botolph’s Bridge area and part of Hythe Ranges located within its boundaries. As a consequence the tetrad has the richest diversity of breeding birds in the local area, with 71 species having a status of at least possible in the latest BTO Atlas survey. It also had the highest total of species (125) in the winter Atlas survey. Sadly a major housing development is now in progress at the Nickolls Quarry site and much of the best habitat is now being disturbed or lost. Nickolls Quarry has been watched since the late 1940s, though early coverage was patchy, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. As a working quarry the site has undergone significant changes during this time, expanding from two small pits to a much larger area of open water, some of which has since been backfilled. During 2001 to 2004 a series of shallow pools were created which proved particularly attractive to waders. Nickolls Quarry in 1952 Nickolls Quarry in 1998 Looking roughly northwards across the 'old pit' Looking south-west across the site towards the Hythe Roughs towards Dungeness Although a major housing development is underway on the site it still contains some interesting habitats. The lake is easily the largest area of open water in the local area and so remains one of the best areas for wildfowl, particularly during cold weather, for example in December 2010 when there were peak counts of 170 Wigeon, 107 Coot, 104 Pochard, 100 Teal, 53 Tufted Duck, 34 Gadwall, 18 Mute Swan, 12 Pintail, 10 Bewick’s Swan, 8 Shoveler, singles of Goldeneye and Goosander, and 300 White-fronted Geese flew over.

  • Records of Two New Palearctic Moth Species Associated with Queen Anne’S Lace in Nova Scotia
    J. Acad. Entomol. Soc. 13: 54-57 (2017) NOTE Records of two new Palearctic moth species associated with Queen Anne’s lace in Nova Scotia Jeffrey Ogden Daucus carota Linnaeus, commonly known as Queen Anne’s lace or wild carrot, is native to Europe and southwestern Asia. It is believed to have been introduced to North America in soil ballast by the first European settlers (Lindroth 1957). It has historically been used as a food source and is the ancestral plant of our common cultivated garden carrot. Since its introduction, Daucus carota has spread widely and is common to much of North America. In Nova Scotia, this biennial is a very common plant of fields, roadsides and other weedy areas throughout the mainland and parts of Cape Breton (Zinck 1998). Previous insect surveys have recorded hundreds of species of insects attracted to the large white flower heads of the plant (Judd 1970; Largo & Mann 1987). Although considered a common weed species, Daucus carota is an important host to numerous beneficial insect species, including many pollinators and predatory species (Judd 1970). In this report, the first detections ofSitochroa palealis (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), the carrot seed moth, and Depressaria depressana (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Depressariidae), the purple carrot seed moth, are described from Nova Scotia. Larvae of each species were collected within the flower heads of Daucus carota during the summers of 2015 to 2017. Adults were collected as part of an ongoing light trapping survey and through lab rearing. Verified photograph records were also considered. Voucher specimens have been deposited in the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources Reference Collection, the Nova Scotia Museum, and the author’s personal collection.

Box 37012, MRC 158, Washington, DC 20013-7012, U.S.A. (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract. ---Sitochroa pa/ca/is (Denis and Schiffermüller) is recorded from North America for the first time. Adults were collected in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. The capture of larvae and adults in four states over a six-year period is strong evidence that S. pa/ca/is is established in North America. Characters separating S. pa/ca/is from other Sitochroa in North America are given. The potential impact of S. pa/ca/is to prairies, agriculture, and biocontrol of noxious weeds is discussed. Ke y Words. Pyraustinae, introduction, immatures, North America, Apiaceae Palearctic moths frequently are dis- published in faunal studies. For example, covered in North America. A very Spodoptera /ittora/i,r (Bdv.) was listed in conservative list published by Leverton a study of owlet moths of Ohio (Rings et (2001) includes approximately 85 species al.

  • South-Central England Regional Action Plan
    Butterfly Conservation South-Central England Regional Action Plan This action plan was produced in response to the Action for Butterflies project funded by WWF, EN, SNH and CCW by Dr Andy Barker, Mike Fuller & Bill Shreeves August 2000 Registered Office of Butterfly Conservation: Manor Yard, East Lulworth, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 5QP. Registered in England No. 2206468 Registered Charity No. 254937. Executive Summary This document sets out the 'Action Plan' for butterflies, moths and their habitats in South- Central England (Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight & Wiltshire), for the period 2000- 2010. It has been produced by the three Branches of Butterfly Conservation within the region, in consultation with various other governmental and non-governmental organisations. Some of the aims and objectives will undoubtedly be achieved during this period, but some of the more fundamental challenges may well take much longer, and will probably continue for several decades. The main conservation priorities identified for the region are as follows: a) Species Protection ! To arrest the decline of all butterfly and moth species in South-Central region, with special emphasis on the 15 high priority and 6 medium priority butterfly species and the 37 high priority and 96 medium priority macro-moths. ! To seek opportunities to extend breeding areas, and connectivity of breeding areas, of high and medium priority butterflies and moths. b) Surveys, Monitoring & Research ! To undertake ecological research on those species for which existing knowledge is inadequate. Aim to publish findings of research. ! To continue the high level of butterfly transect monitoring, and to develop a programme of survey work and monitoring for the high and medium priority moths.
