Moths of
Cental California by Alison Sheehey
With over a thousand species of moths in Kern County alone, it is a daunting
task to identify moths. This site is in no way comprehensive, but lists just a
few of the species experts have collected in the area. Two websites are critical
in helping me identify moths that I have photographed,
CalMoth and
http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/
Below you will find just a few photos of identified specimens, click the links
to find lists from the respective counties. The county lists are incomplete as I
have found reference to 1165 species in Kern and the Tulare list around
785. I am in the process of writing the family information for each species and
most likely will break up the pages when I am ready to upload the entire lists.
Until then just understand my knowledge of moths is limited to the photographs I
have taken, I invite you to learn more about the leps of the area along with me.
