A Survey of the Moths, Butterflies, and Grasshoppers of Four Nature Conservancy Preserves in Southeastern North Carolina
A Survey of the Moths, Butterflies, and Grasshoppers of Four Nature Conservancy Preserves in Southeastern North Carolina
Moths, butterflies, and grasshoppers were surveyed within four longleaf pine preserves owned by the North Carolina Nature Conservancy during the growing season of 1991 and 1992. Over 7,000 specimens (either collected or seen in the field) were identified, representing 512 different species and 28 families.
