Description

This contribution focuses mainly on the diversity of nocturnal moths at the point of the northeastern area of Hiroshima Prefecture, western Honshu, Japan. Moreover, this dataset was utilized to infer the necessary survey effort required to outline nocturnal moth fauna in agroecosystems in the hilly and mountainous region of western Honshu. The number of individuals was observed in each species between 2015 and 2021.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Moths collected at a farm land located northeastern area of Hiroshima Prefecture, western Honshu, Japan during 2015 to 2021.

Sampling

The study site is a farm land located northeastern area of Hiroshima prefecture, western Honshu, Japan. Nocturnal moths were collected using Sure Insect Light Trap (Ishizaki Electric Mfg. Co., Ltd.). A 30W black light was turned on just after sunset of the first day, and moths captured in the traps were collected on the morning of the last day. Most specimens are deposited in Hiwa Museum of Natural Science, Shôbara, Japan.

Quality Control

Scientific names were checked against Jinbo U (2021) List-MJ, Catalogue of Japanese moths version 3.
