This form is for recording "moth-trap intruders", that is any species found in a moth trap that is not a moth! Please do not add records of moths to this form - moth records should go on the iRecord moths form.
 *
For trapping records, please enter the date the trap was set (turned on), not the date for the follwing morning (if the trap was run overnight).
 *

Enter the recorder's name, if different.

 

Optionally enter your sampling method (i.e. type of trap or recording method)

Please enter all the species you saw at one site on a single day. Then move to the Where was it? tab before submitting your records.
For the quantity, do not enter a zero to mean "present but not counted" - if the quantity was not counted, leave this column blank (if you use a zero iRecord will interpret that as meaning the species was absent).
