Lepidoptera Online Reporting from Kungsmarken

Location is Sweden, Skåne, Lund, Kungsmarken nature reserve, at the coordinates N55.72435, E013.28363. Look at a detailed map(82 KB), and see a picture from the forest edge where trap S1 is located. More details of Kungsmarken, including listings of its flora and bird fauna can be found at Bengt Jönsson's site.

Unlike most nature reserves, collecting insects in Kungsmarken does not require a special permit.

The listings currently only cover so called macros.  However, all the micros from 2000 are at a specialist and hopefully I'll be able to post a list of them here in a not too distant future :-)

Season of 2003

One light trap only was used. That is at location S1 (0), which is the same as earlier.

All of the year 2003, sums by species

Season of 2002

Only two light traps at locations S1 (0) and S807 (50), were used, which are the same locations as earlier. Not all the material has been processed yet...

Season of 2001

Light traps were operated at locations S1 (0) and S807 (50), which were the same as earlier.  In addition, one trap (D1) was installed on 29 April in the valley north of the lake Glomsjön and another one (D2) on its shoreline on 3 June. Some material is still in the freezer :-(

Season of 2000

I worked with three light traps at locations S1 (0) and S807 (50), which were the same as 1999, and a different one 300 meters further at the edge of the horse pasture "hästhagen" (HH).  Daytime observations were made as earlier. No special report has been written yet.

Season of 1999

Full report was made for Länstyrelsen. It includes description of methods; trap locations were S0, S1, S807 and STLK and some bait traps.  A total of 380 species were observed.

Overall

A total of 471 Macrolepidopteran species have been recorded from Kungsmarken to date. The list is here.

Please send additional records to my attention by email.  Thanks for Magnus Persson and Göran Axelsson for contributing their observations.


Biotella and Pyy

My database application is available for others to download and use for managing their own observation data on a Windows PC.  See http://www.bioshare.net/serv/download/biotella/
All my observations are queriable from a data warehouse on the web.  It basically contains full exports of the data from Biotella.  Here are some example queries.
