Lepidoptera Inventory of DeLuca Preserve, Florida

Presented by: Debbie Matthews Lott, Jim Hayden, Riley Gott, and Taylor Pierson, McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity, Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA

Abstract: The McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity is conducting an inventory of Lepidoptera in Florida’s DeLuca Preserve. We provide an introduction to the preserve and its habitats, and describe our work there to date. We also provide an overview of our current knowledge of the moth and butterfly fauna, and discuss ongoing efforts to build a DNA “barcode” library for the preserve’s Lepidoptera fauna.
