Lepidoptera
Moths
This page covers all known moth species recorded on the Dawlish Warren and builds on the previous work of many recorders and the two publications “Larger Lepidoptera of Dawlish Warren” and “The Moths of Devon” both written by and available from the county moth recorder Roy McCormick. The micro-lepidoptera records were first recorded in or before 1985,unless otherwise stated.
The Nomenclature, numbering and classification order follows Bradley, J. D., 2000 Checklist of Lepidoptera recorded from the British Isles.
If anyone wishes
to run any traps on the reserve permission must first be sought from the
reserve staff. They can be contacted on 01626 863980.
The species
which are not in bold type have been reported from the site but the records are
not considered proven by the county recorder. Please pass on any records you
may have to the website, they will be forwarded on to both the reserve wardens
and county recorder. It is our intention to try to find Dawlish Warren
photographs of many species on this website, both common and rare. If you can help, please get in touch [all records and images will be
credited to the author]
