This report gives the results of moth trapping surveys conducted from May-September 2014. Most data were collected in the Warren House area, where 91 species were identified, but there are data also from Wistman’s Wood NNR, where 28 species were recorded, with Pammene splendidulana and Catoptria margaritella noted as highlights. Most results were obtained using Skinner traps over periods of 5 consecutive nights, though some daytime searches also occurred.
