U.S. Fish Fish & & Wildlife Wildlife Service Service Moths of Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge Established in 1994, the nearly 30,000-acre Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge is a remnant of what was once a much larger, frequently flooded, bottomland hardwood forest. You are still able to view vast expanses of ridge and swale floodplain features, numerous bayous, oxbow lakes, and cypress/tupelo swamps along the Trinity River. It is one of only 14 priority-one bottomland sites identified for protection in the Texas Bottomland Protection Plan. Texas is home to an estimated 4,000 species of moths. Most of the over 600 species of moths listed below were photographed around the security lights at the Refuge Headquarters building located adjacent to a bottomland hardwood forest. Many more moths are not even attracted to lights, so additional surveys will need to be conducted to document those species. These forests also support a wide diversity of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fish with many feeding on moths or their larvae. For more information, visit our website: www.fws.gov/southwest Contact the Refuge staff if you should find an unlisted or rare species during your visit and provide a description and photograph.
