Description

Insects were sampled with malaise traps and vascular plants (focus on non-native species) were surveyed in transects at 15 localities (250 x 250 m), mainly in urban areas, in South-East Norway in September and October 2018. Plants were identified in field by botanical experts, insects (Lepidoptera) were sorted from trap samples and identified by a taxonomic expert.

Purpose

The data set contains insect (Lepidoptera) and plant species registered at 15 localities in the pilot study for the project “Tidlig oppdagelse og varsling av nye fremmede arter”.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

South-east Norway September - october 2018

Sampling

Two experienced botanists surveyed plants in transects at each locality, only registering plants they considered to be non-native. They performed the surveys independently, and each locality was surveyed once by each botanist. Species were identified in field. Each survey was restricted to maximum 2 hours. Insects were sampled with malaise traps, one trap per locality. The trap was operated during September and emptied three times through the period. Lepidoptera were sorted from the samples and identified by a taxonomic expert.

Method steps

Plants registered along transects by experienced botanists identifying species in field. Insects sampled in malaise traps and Lepidoptera identified by a taxonomist.
