Together with butterflies, moths are categorised within the insect order Lepidoptera, and in Ireland some 1,500 species have been recorded to date. Participants will be given a brief introduction to the biology and ecology of moths in general in this workshop before focusing on the practice of how to go about finding, identifying and recording moths, macro-moths in particular, excluding their micro cousins for now. Moths captured from Lullymore Bog will provide the live specimens needed for identification practice.

The National Biodiversity Data Centre is a national organisation for the collection, collation, management, analysis and dissemination of data on Ireland’s biological diversity. Biodiversity data are a key requirement for understanding our natural surroundings, for tracking change in our environment and for gaining a greater insight on how we benefit from, and impact upon, the ecosystem goods and services provided by biological diversity; a national asset which contributes at least €2.6 billion to the Irish economy each year. The Data Centre was established by the Heritage Council in 2007 and is funded by the Heritage Council and the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. The Centre is operated under a service level agreement by Compass Informatics Limited, an information and location technologies company focused on applications in natural resources and planning.
