There were native bushes in the region where the field observations were made. The information gathered across many time periods (T1, T2, T3, and T4) comprises the species spotted and the quantity of sightings.

We observed a wide variety of moth species in the native bush while conducting our fieldwork. Throughout history, sightings of the Pale Beauty (Campaea perlata) have been continuous and were the most often sighted species. The (Ideae dimidiate), or Single-dotted Wave, was less frequent and only sometimes appeared. Particularly in the latter times, the Small Magpie (Anania hortulata) demonstrated a moderate presence. Only a few sightings of the Variable Carpet Moth (Anticlea vasiliata) were reported in the early years. There was a noticeable prevalence of the Brown-lined Looper (Neoalcis californiaria), which was present throughout, continually showing up during the observation time. Only a single occurrence of the Western Carpet (Melanolophia imitata) was observed. Additionally uncommon—only once seen—was the Forest Tent Caterpillar Moth (Malacosoma disstria). Comparable to the Brown-lined Looper, the Large Gray Dagger (Acronicta insita) was a common sight. (Panthea virginarius), also known as the Western Panthea Moth, was only observed twice. There was a fair amount of observation of the Ceanothus Silk Moth (Hyalophora euryalus), particularly during the middle seasons. Not as regularly as the Pale Beauty, but still consistently present, was the Bertha Armyworm Moth (Mamestra configurata). One of the most often seen species was the American Brindle Moth (Lithomoia germana), which was equally common to see as the Pale Beauty. Only a small number of Johnson’s Euchlaena Moth (Euchlaena johnsonaria) and Sand Quaker (Caradrina meralis) sightings were reported. The vast biodiversity found in the native bush is highlighted by the variety of moths that inhabit it.

Hypothesis

Data shows that native bush environments are more likely to host species like the American Brindle Moth (Lithomoia germana) and Pale Beauty Moth (Campaea perlata). This pattern is consistent with our theory that moths prefer habitats with lots of trees.

Response and predictor variable

The quantity of moth species I have observed in many parts of Queen Elizabeth Park serves as the response variable.
The kind of vegetation, the nearness to sources of water, and the time of day are the predictive variables that are supposed to have an effect on moth abundance.

Conclusion

Our results validate the preference of moths for heavily vegetated areas. Moth sightings are common in tree-rich areas, which emphasizes the value of these ecosystems for moth diversity and the necessity of conservation efforts to preserve these habitats.
