نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study, which took place in Kopački rit Nature Park in Eastern Croatia from May 2008 to May 2009, was to create a list of species and to highlight both rare and typical moths. A UV-light was employed in a conventional Wilkinson trap to sample moths. Four traps were operated during the night twice a month on average. During the research, over 3000 moths were collected, and 201 species in 17 families were identified. Two moth families; Owlet moths (Noctuidae), with a total of 73 species and Geometer moths (Geometridae) with 56 species were the most diverse families. Within the collected material 6 rare wetland species were determined: Phragmataecia castaneae (Hübner, 1790), Thalera fimbrialis (Scopoli, 1763), Colobochyla salicalis (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775), Nonagria typhae (Thunberg, 1784), Hemistola chrysoprasaria (Espero, 1794), and Idaea muricata (Hufnagel, 1767).
