Collection description
List of common Finnish diurnal moth taxa (large day active lepidopterans excl. Papilionoidea). Includes most common species that are not classically considered “butterflies”. The species list is based on Finnish Environmental Insitute (SYKE) Butterfly monitoring in Finnish agricultural landscapes (Maatalousympäristöjen päväperhosseuranta) and Finnish Society of Lepidoptera Researchers’ NAFI Butterfly monitoring scheme (Perhostutkijain seuran NAFI päiväperhosseuranta). Classic butterflies (Papilionoidea, incl. Nymphalidae, Pieridae, Hesperiidae, Lycaenida) were excluded, so the list comprises mostly of Noctuidae and Geometridae. Other common diurnal taxa were included on case by case basis. Hence, the list represents “most common and observable non-butterfly lepidopteras recorded during day times”. The records include complete checklists of observer trips. Observers mark down each species or taxon they have observed. The data is presence-absence or, optionally, presence-absence with abundance data. Abundance is recorded either in logarithmic scale (0 = 0 individuals, 1 = 1-10 individuals, 2 = 10-100 individuals, 3 = 100-1000 individuals, 4 = 1000+ individuals) or as precise user input. Observations must include location, date and time data. Checklists should be considered to show real absences if correctly filled. (en)

18.06.2024 13:26Sensitive observation data have undergone obfuscation including spatial aggregation so that precise locations and other sensitive information is not publicly available. The precise location, place names, dates, names of observers and other information may have been obscured or removed. Read more about sensitive observations.
Data may have a research embargo (usually 2–4 years), during which data may have been hidden or obscured as described above. Data producer-owners may have chosen to permanently obfuscate all or part of their data.
To gain access to non-obscured data, you may make a data request. Non-obscured data is also available to Finnish authorities
