Microlepidoptera of Glamorgan

Quality Control

This dataset has undergone extensive validation and verification in preparation for the Moths of Glamorgan (due to be published early 2014). Whilst it is impossible to say that there are no errors within the dataset, the majority of records can be used with confidence. Any micro moth records that appear elsewhere on the Gateway in datasets uploaded by other data providers that are not in this one have probably been rejected during the verification process and should be ignored. This dataset should provide the definitive status and distribution of micro Lepidoptera in VC41.

Method steps

1. All of the records were entered into MapMate, mostly by members of the Glamorgan Moth Recording Group. Some have been extracted from literature, some from Museum specimens, but most are from field work undertaken in and around the county.
