Survey of Moth Diversity in Congaree National Park
Joseph D. Culin1,*, Brian G. Scholtens2, and John A. Snyder3
Abstract - We surveyed moth populations in Congaree NP (Richland County, SC) between
November 2009 and October 2010. We conducted primary sampling for 2 nights per month
using ultraviolet bucket-traps and mercury-vapor lamps with sheets in accessible areas of the
park. We also collected specimens near building lights throughout the study and conducted
bait sampling during cold-weather months. We curated 10,950 specimens. Of these, we have
identified 10,524 to species and 134 to genus, with 15 of those being as yet unnamed new
species. There are 295 specimens that remain unidentified. Our survey yielded 1002 species
in 547 genera and 49 families, raising the confirmed moth data from the park to 1005 species,
549 genera, and 49 families. Our data included 161 species previously unreported from SC.
Of those, 55 species have not been reported to occur in the adjacent states of GA or NC. We
recorded only 3 non-native species that collectively totaled 6 individuals.
Introduction
Congaree National Park encompasses ~10,725 ha (26,500 ac) varying in elevation
from 27.4 m (90 ft) to 61.0 m (200 ft) in the southern portion of Richland
County, SC (Fig. 1C). It was established to protect the largest contiguous tract of
old-growth bottomland hardwood forest (~4452 ha [11,000 ac]) remaining in the
US. The park encompasses a relatively intact and unspoiled floodplain ecosystem
renowned for its biodiversity. A unique aspect of the park is the significant flooding
that occurs an average of 10 times per year when the Congaree River overflows its
banks along the southern border of the park, which presents special challenges to
species that occur there (Doyle 2009). Designated as an International Biosphere Reserve
in 1983, Wilderness Area in 1988, Important Bird Area in 2001, and Ramsar
Convention Wetland of International Importance in 2012, the park serves as a baseline
site for environmental research and monitoring. A long-term goal of the park
is to provide essential habitat for species dependent on this old-growth bottomland
hardwood ecosystem, with particular emphasis on endangered or threatened species,
or species uncommon elsewhere (NPS 2004, 2014). As part of the effort to
maintain this unique ecosystem, the majority of Congaree NP is maintained in an
unimproved state with areas accessible through roads or trails concentrated in the
western third of the park (Fig. 1A). Knowledge of the biological diversity of all
taxa occurring within the park is a critical component in assuring long-term preservation
of this unique habitat.

Both adult moths, as a major group of pollinators, and their larvae, as important
herbivores, can have significant impacts upon plant populations and communities.
Moth species, in both the adult and larval stages, are important food sources for
many species of vertebrate and invertebrate predators. Moths are the predominant
food source for Corynorhinus rafinesquii (Lesson) (Rafinesque’s Big-eared Bat)
(Hurst and Lacki 1997, Lacki and Ladeur 2001), a resident of the park that is
considered imperiled in SC (state rank S2), and is included as a rare species in the
Park’s Foundation Document (NPS 2014). Moth species play a significant role in
the ecosystems in which they occur; thus, they can serve as indicators of current
ecosystem health and can be used to monitor environmental change.
This project provides a year-long assessment of the composition, seasonal trends,
and distribution of the moth fauna within accessible areas of Congaree NP. This
nearly comprehensive inventory of documented species provides a framework for
identifying species that might serve as indicators for long-term health of the bottomland
hardwood floodplain ecosystem, and provides a baseline from which to
measure long-term change.
The overall objectives of this project were to document moth diversity within Congaree
NP and to develop a baseline inventory of moth species. This study documented
moth diversity within Congaree NP through a year-long survey of adult moths in a
variety of accessible habitats within the park, which we integrated with previously
collected verifiable data; documented the occurrence of species of special concern,
such as rare, threatened, endangered, non-native, or invasive species; and provided
baseline information to help park managers to develop a monitoring strategy tailored
to assess the status of species of special concern that occur within the park.
Materials and Methods
We conducted surveys from November 2009 through October 2010. We
performed the majority of sampling using 12-V battery-powered ultraviolet buckettraps
and mercury-vapor (MV) lamps with sheets. Due to the need for a vehicle or
service cart to transport traps, batteries, generator, etc. to sample sites, we concentrated
our survey along trails and roads. Survey sites included areas near the Harry
Hampton Visitor Center and Old-Growth Bottomland Forest Research and Education
Center; along the Boardwalk Loop Trail, Sims Trail, National Park Road, West
Boundary Road, US 601; and where both Garrick Road and South Cedar Creek Road
terminate at the northern park boundary (Fig. 1A, B). We conducted supplemental
sampling by hand-collecting near exterior building lights throughout the study, and
baiting in November, December, January, February, March, April, and October.
In addition, park staff deployed UV traps, collected near building lights, or baited
on several dates during the survey. We were unable to sample portions of the West
Boundary Road and much of the non-elevated west and south sections of the Boardwalk
Loop Trail between December 2009 and March 2010 due to flooding.
Survey-site locations are shown in Figure 1; collection sites and their GPS coordinates,
collection methods, months sampled, total specimens, and total species
collected for each site are presented in Table 1. Habitat types and plant data from

the Congaree NP GIS vegetation layer for each collection site are presented in
Appendix 1. Renovation of the Boardwalk Loop Trail, completed after this study,
has resulted in minor differences between our site nomenclature and the current
boardwalk layout.
On each primary sampling night, we deployed at dusk and retrieved shortly
after sunrise multiple UV traps. We placed a container equipped with a wick and
holding ethyl acetate (C4H8O2, BioQuip Products, Inc., Rancho Dominguez, CA)
within each trap as a killing source. We hand-collected moths observed on the
outside of traps at retrieval and added them to the sample. We returned traps to the
Old-Growth Bottomland Forest Research and Education Center, where collected
materials were sorted and by-catch removed.
On all primary sampling nights, except during July and August, we employed
1 or 2 MV lamps with sheets. We placed 1 of these near either the Old-Growth
Bottomland Forest Research and Education Center or the Harry Hampton Visitor
Center to allow use of drop cords from electrical outlets. The other trap was powered
using a small generator, which allowed us to place the trap on the Boardwalk

Loop Trail or Sims Trail. We placed moths that landed on the sheet, ground, or
foliage either in killing jars containing ethyl acetate (Macrolepidoptera) or alive
in individual vials (Microlepidoptera). We turned on the lamps shortly after dusk
and they remained on until shortly after sunrise, with most collecting taking place
between dusk and midnight, followed by a final check when we turned the light off
in the morning.
With the exception of the Old Growth Bottomland Research and Education
Center location, all UV- and MV-lamp trapping sites were situated well away from
any artificial light sources. When trapping occurred at the Research and Education
Center, all exterior building lights were off and traps were placed at least 30 m (100
ft) from the building. For all UV trap and MV lamp collections, the approximate
duration for each trapping session is presented in Appendix 2 as hours of darkness.
We calculated hours of darkness based on the time between end of civil twilight
(approximate sunset day 1) to beginning of civil twilight (approximate sunrise
day 2). Other lunar and sky data used in this study include time of moon rise and
set, percentage of moon disk visible, hours of moonlight during dark, and average
percent cloud cover during dark (Appendix 2). Weather data include rainfall, and
minimum and maximum values for temperature, relative humidity (RH), and wind
speed for the time between the end and beginning of civil twilight (Appendix 3).
Civil twilight and lunar data were obtained from the US Naval Observatory (website
http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneYear.php) for Columbia, SC. We
obtained cloud-cover data from the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR)
cell (Mesinger et al. 2006) most closely aligned with the geographic center of
Congaree NP. Rainfall, temperature, RH, and wind-speed data were provided by
Congaree NP from an on-site weather station. Selection of sample dates depended
on the authors’ schedules, availability of housing, and access to laboratory space at
the Old-Growth Bottomland Research and Education Center; thus, we were unable
to schedule sampling to consistently coincide with weekends nearest a new moon.
From November 2009 through April 2010 and in October 2010, we applied a
molasses and beer bait on 15–20 individual trees located along the road between
the Research and Education Center and Sims Trail gate. We checked bait locations
several times between dusk and midnight and again shortly after sunrise. All moths
observed at bait locations were hand-collected and placed in killing jars.
Following collection, we returned specimens to the Old-Growth Bottomland
Research and Education Center where trap catches were sorted. Our goal was to
survey the composition of the moth population; thus, we retained for identification
only 3–5 specimens of each morphospecies from each collection site. We placed
specimens on spreading boards shortly after collection until available space was
filled. The number of moths greatly exceeded the availability of preparation space
on most collection dates, so we placed remaining moths in plastic snap-lid containers
and returned them to either Clemson University, College of Charleston, or
Furman University, where they were stored frozen until prepared for identification.
We collected many Microlepidoptera in individual vials, to be stored alive in a refrigerator
and, over the course of several days, killed and prepared.

We completed the majority of specimen preparations and identifications by September
2013, but identification of some Microlepidoptera continued through 2017.
For several difficult-to-identify genera, B.G. Scholtens dissected specimens to confirm
identifications. In total, Scholtens completed 300 dissections (1 Gelechiidae;
37 Tortricidae; 59 Crambidae; 115 Pyralidae; 88 Geometridae). All Pterophoridae
were identified by D. Matthews Lott (McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity,
Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville,
FL). Species identifications in this report follow the taxonomic status and P3
numbering system in Pohl et al. (2016). We use Henricus edwardsiana (Walsingham),
rather than H. contrastana (Kearfott), based on a recent report by J. Brown
(US Dept. of Agriculture, Systematic Entomology Laboratory, National Museum
of Natural History, Washington, DC) posted at http://mothphotographersgroup.
msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=3797. Sources used in confirming identifications
include Covell (2005), Ferguson (1978, 1985, 2008), Gilligan and Wright (2013),
Gilligan et al. (2008), Handfield (1999), Heinrich (1923, 1926, 1956), Heppner

et al. (2013), Sohn et al. (2015), and Wright and Gilligan (2015).
The list of species that we report as new records for South Carolina is based
on the South Carolina Moth Searchable Checklist (http://insect.furman.edu/
sc-moths/) maintained by J.A. Snyder. Information on the development of that
database can be found on that website under Important Information, with data
sources listed at http://insect.furman.edu/sc-moths/collection-legend.htm. We determined
the occurrence of new SC record species in nearby states based on North
American Moth Photographers Group (http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.
edu/) distribution maps. We feel that this site maintains the most readily available,
and current, synopsis of moth species distributions.
We used the first 3 Hill numbers (Hill 1973)—species richness (0D), the Shannon
exponential index (1D), and the inverse Simpson index (2D)—to assess diversity.
We calculated these values using EstimateS (Colwell 2013). Chao et al. (2014)
noted that because richness is based simply on species presence, it is most sensitive
to changes in rare species, while the Shannon exponential index weights all
species in relation to their abundance, and the inverse Simpson index emphasizes
the most abundant species. Morris et al. (2014) found that using multiple diversity
measures provided a better understanding of how both rare and abundant species
affect community structure. We employed the number of shared species and the
Chao–Sorenson similarity index to compare moth communities among 8 major
plant communities found within Congaree NP. We chose the Chao–Sorenson index
because it reduces the negative bias inherent to some traditional similarity indices
(Chao et al. 2005).
We assigned plant communities based on the GIS vegetation layer provided
by Congaree NP staff (Thompson 1998), mapped sample sites onto the vegetation

layer, and determined the plant community for each sampling site to include all
plant species listed for individual vegetation types within 30 m (100 ft) of the
site (Appendix 1). This analysis resulted in 8 plant communities: upland mixed
hardwoods and pines, upland pines, vine shrubland, mixed bottomland hardwoods,
Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich (Bald Cypress) dominant, Nyssa aquatica L. (Water
Tupelo) dominant, swamp forest, and wet Pinus palustris Mill. (Longleaf Pine)
savannah. We employed the Chao–Sorenson similarity index to compare plant
species composition among the 8 major plant communities in which we surveyed
moths. It should be noted that 2 habitat types do not have detailed plant data in
the GIS vegetation layer (Appendix 1). First, the GIS vegetation layer labels sites
along the National Park Road and near the Harry Hampton Visitor Center simply as
successional Pinus (pine) and mixed hardwoods, and does not include a list of the
most common species. Second, the area along US 601 is a relatively new addition
to Congaree NP and was not included in the existing GIS vegetation layer. This area
is designated as a wet Longleaf Pine savannah habitat with Longleaf Pine as the
only listed species. Comparisons that include these 2 habitat types are biased due
to a lack of detailed plant data.
The primary repository of specimens from this survey is the Clemson
University Arthropod Collection (CUAC; https://sites.google.com/site/
clemsonarthropodcollection/) with duplicate material housed at the College of
Charleston Department of Biology and at the Furman University Zoological Collection
(http://insect.furman.edu/collection/; search under Richland County, SC).
The database for all species recorded from this survey is maintained by B.G. Scholtens
at College of Charleston (Filemaker Pro® format), and Congaree NP (Microsoft
Excel® format). Persons interested in these data should contact cong_information@
NPS.gov or B.G. Scholtens for additional information.
We took photographs of all species using a Canon EOS 30D camera with macro
Twin Lite MT-24EX flash system. Based on size of the specimen, we used one of
the following Canon lenses: EF 180mm (f/3.5 Macro USM), EF 100 mm (f/2.8
Macro USM), MP-E 65 mm (f/2.8 1–5x Macro Photo), or EF-S 17–85 mm (f/4–5.6
IS USM). We archived a single photograph for each monomorphic species and
archived photographs of each morph for polymorphic species. Photographs are
archived on the Open Parks Network© (https://openparksnetwork.org/explore/collections/
cong-moths/) and at Congaree NP.
Results and Discussion
During our year-long survey, we archived 10,950 specimens. Of these, 10,524
have been identified to species (Appendix 4A). Of the remainder, we identified
134 to genus, with 15 being unnamed new species (Appendix 4B). There are 295
as-yet-unidentified specimens. Our survey included 1002 species, 547 genera, and
49 families of moths (Appendix 4A, B). There were 4 families and 20 genera that
did not contain any specimens identified to species (Appendix 4A , B). Prior to our
survey, there were records of 40 moth species in 40 genera and 12 families from
Congaree NP. With the exception of Acoloithus falsarius Clemens (Zygaenidae),

Citheronia regalis (Fabricius) (Saturniidae), and Schizura concinna (J.E. Smith)
(Notodontidae), we collected all previously reported species during our survey
(Appendix 4A). Our survey did not contain specimens in the genera Acoloithus or
Citheronia. With the completion of our survey, there are now 1005 species, 549
genera, and 49 families of moths documented from Congaree NP. We note that
there was a prior record of Arctia caja (L.) (Eribidae) from Congaree NP, but we
strongly suspect that this species was recorded in error—it is not known to occur in
the Southeastern US, so we have not included it in the totals above.
Our data include 161 species previously unrecorded in SC (Appendix 4A). Of
those, 30 (18.6%) have not been reported from the nearby states of AL, FL, GA,
NC, TN, or VA. An additional 25 (15.5%) of those 161 species have not been reported
from GA or NC, contiguous to SC, but are known from AL, FL, TN, or VA
(Appendix 4A). The majority of the new SC records are Microlepidoptera, and their
apparent absence across much of the Southeast likely reflects a lack of collection
rather than disjunct populations.
Our survey recorded 3 non-native moth species in Congaree NP: Noctua pronuba,
Ostrinia nubilalis and Plutella xylostella (Appendix 4A). Collectively, these
taxa represented only 6 of the 10,524 specimens identified to species during this
survey. Our data suggest that few introduced moth species have become established
in Congaree NP’s intact native ecosystems. It would be valuable to compare these
data with the surrounding disturbed areas.
Abundance of both specimens (Fig. 2) and species (Fig. 3) exhibited similar
seasonal trends with low numbers from November through February, then increasing
through March and April. The number of specimens exhibited a 3-month peak

from May through July, while the number of species peaked during May and June.
Numbers of both specimens and species declined slightly through August followed
by a dramatic increase in September before declining sharply in October.
In our survey, 3 species are represented by >100 individuals, 26 between 51 and
100 individuals, 81 between 26 and 50 individuals, and 892 with ≤25 individuals
(Fig. 4, Appendix 4A). We observed a similar distribution pattern among families,
with 4 families represented by >1000 individuals, 8 with between 101 and 999

months (Fig. 6, Appendix 4A). Conversely, both Iridopsis defectaria and Macaria
aequiferaria were present in collections during 9 months and Nemoria lixaria during
10 months (Fig. 6, Appendix 4A).
Overall moth diversity in Congaree NP was relatively high (0D = 1002, 1D =
505.01, and 2D = 316.01), while Simpson’s evenness (E = 0.32) was low (Fig. 7).
The low evenness-value was expected based on the distribution of individuals

between November 2009 and October 2010. Data are presented for the whole park and for
subsets from 8 habitat types sampled. Indices include species richness (0D), Shannon exponential
(1D), inverse Simpson (2D), and Simpson’s evenness (E; multiplied by 1000 to adjust

among species described previously (Fig. 4, Appendix 4A). We also found that
both the number of specimens and number of species recorded per site had strong
positive linear relationships with sampling intensity (Fig. 8). Despite our inability
to survey all habitat types equally, we observed some trends in diversity. In each of
the 8 habitat types, 0D > 1D > 2D, indicating that the surveyed moth communities
had similar structures of rare to abundant species (Fig. 7). The primary difference
across the 8 habitats examined was that for habitats sampled more than 20 times,
0D was much greater than 1D or 2D indicating that increased sampling yielded more
rare species (Fig. 7). In the 3 habitats sampled fewer than 10 times the species were
more evenly abundant as indicated by 0D being similar to both 1D and 2D (Fig. 7).
Evenness values support the Hill number trends, with the mixed bottomland hardwoods
habitat having the lowest evenness (E = 0.36) and the greatest difference
between 0D and 2D, indicating there were considerably more rare than abundant
species in samples from this habitat (Fig. 7). Likewise, the vine shrubland habitat
had the highest evenness (E = 0.74) and the least difference between 0D and 2D,
indicating that most species in this habitat were collected at similar abundances,
likely an artifact of the low sampling frequency (Fig. 7).
Moth species diversity and evenness in the 8 habitat types fell into 3 general
groups. The upland mixed hardwoods and pines habitat had the highest values
for all diversity indices with an evenness value of 0.47. Despite variability in the
number of times sampled, the swamp forest (n = 64), mixed bottomland hardwoods
(n = 41), and upland pines (n = 23) had similar 0D, 1D, and 2D values, and evenness
values of 0.46, 0.36, and 0.52, respectively (Fig. 7). Although it was sampled
21 times, the Bald Cypress-dominant habitat had lower 0D, 1D, and 2D values than
the previous habitat grouping, but was similar to them in evenness (0.42). The 3

habitat types sampled fewer than 10 times had the lowest 0D, 1D, and 2D values but
relatively high evenness values of 0.53, 0.65, and 0.74, respec tively.
The number of shared species among habitat pairs was relatively high; most
habitat pairs had >50% of the species collected in common with each other
(Table 2). The high number of shared species is reflected in the Chao–Sorenson
similarity values of >0.5 for the majority of paired habitat comparisons (Table 2).
There were 3 habitat similarity groupings that stand out. The first included the Bald
Cypress dominant, swamp forest, and mixed bottomland hardwoods habitats, all
of which had similarity index values that were high for both moths (≥0.776) and
plants (≥0.621) (Table 2). The second included the mixed bottomland hardwoods,
swamp forest, and upland mixed hardwoods and pines, which had moth similarity
values that were high (≥0.746) (Table 2). Within this group, plant similarity was
high between the swamp forest and mixed bottomland hardwoods (0.621) but low
between those and the upland mixed hardwoods and pines habitat (0.200, 0.286,
respectively) (Table 2). The low similarity was most likely caused by the reporting
format in the GIS vegetation layer for the upland hardwoods and pines sites.
The third group included the upland mixed hardwoods and pines and upland pines
habitats. These had a moth similarity index value that was high (0.781) but a plant
similarity value that was low (0.143). The similarity in moth populations is probably
due to the upland locations of these sites, while the lack of detail in the GIS
vegetation layer for the upland hardwoods and pines habitat is causing the low level
of similarity among plants.
Two habitats, the wet Longleaf Pine savannah habitat and vine shrubland, differed
the most in similarity values from the other 6 habitat types in both moth
and plant compositions (Table 2). The wet Longleaf Pine savannah area is located
along US 601 where it crosses the eastern edge of the park and is widely separated
from the other sampling areas, which were primarily in the western portion of the
park. Also, as a relatively new addition to the park, it was not included in the GIS
vegetation layer so does not have detailed plant composition information. The vineshrubland
habitat was only sampled twice and so the moth diversity is probably
underestimated compared to the other habitats. It would be beneficial for both of
these habitats to be more intensively sampled in future studies.
Environmental factors are known to impact moth behavior and their susceptibility
to trapping (Jonason et al. 2014, White et al. 2016, Yela and Holyoak 1997).
To determine how these factors may have impacted our survey, we examined
correlations between the number of moths per trap and total number of species
captured for all collection sessions when either UV or MV light trapping was used
(Figs. 9, 10).
Moonlight interference is a major concern when collecting moths using light
traps (McGeachie 1989, Yela and Holyoak 1997). Although most trapping sessions
occurred at least 5 d before or after a full moon, one 2-night session (25–27 June)
occurred during a full moon, and 2 single-night sessions (21–22 September, 20–21
October) occurred the night prior to a full moon (Appendix 2). During our survey
we found no correlation between the percentage of the moon’s disk that was visible

and either the number of moths per trap or number of species collected (Fig. 9A).
This result could be due to the fact that 58% of all sampling sessions occurred with
<50% of the moon’s disk visible (Appendix 2). Of the 8 sampling sessions when
we captured >200 specimens per trap, 5 had less than 30% of the moon visible and
3 had more than 60% visible. The relatively low impact of moonlight in our survey
could be due in part to the dense tree canopy at most survey sites.

Although the correlations were not very strong, we did observe a general trend
of higher numbers of both specimens per trap and species captured when there
were fewer hours of moonlight (Fig. 9B) and increased cloud cover (Fig. 9C) when
sampling. McGeachie (1989) also reported lower captures of moths in light traps
as moonlight increased, and Yela and Holyoak (1997) reported increased numbers
of moths in light traps when cloud cover was higher.
We also examined the relationships of overnight temperature, wind speed, and
relative humidity with the number of specimens per trap and species captured (Fig.
10). Increases in both minimum (Fig. 10A) and maximum (Fig. 10B) overnight
temperatures had strong positive correlations with capture data. This finding is expected
for ectothermic species, and corresponds to the highest captures occurring
during summer months (Figs. 2, 3). Similar temperature impacts have been reported
by Jonason et al. (2014), McGeachie (1989), and Yela and Holyoak (1997). Although
there was no clear correlation between either minimum or maximum wind
speed with the number of specimens captured per trap, there was a slight positive
increase in the number of species captured as either minimum or maximum wind
speed increased (Fig. 10C, D). Jonason et al. (2014) reported that wind speed did not
impact either moth abundance or species richness. We did not find any correlation
between minimum relative humidity and either the number of specimens per trap or
number of species collected (Fig. 10E). Maximum relative humidity when sampling
was almost always >90%; thus, we did not attempt any correlation for this parameter
(Fig. 10F). Prior data on the impact of relative humidity are unclear as to its
impact; Jonason et al. (2016) reported lower numbers of macro moth species when
humidity was higher, and van Langevelde et al. (2011) reported higher numbers of
moth species when humidity was high.
There have been 2 other comprehensive moth surveys conducted in the Southeastern
US. R.B. Dominick conducted a 10-y (1965 to 1975) survey on The Wedge
Plantation (McClellenville, SC) during which he collected 1069 moth species (Wallace
1987). At the time of that survey, The Wedge Plantation property consisted of
607 ha (1500 ac) at elevations from approximately 2 m (7 ft) to 6 m (20 ft), with
habitats consisting mainly of marsh along the South Santee River and coastal forest
with several embedded small open fields. The Wedge Plantation is ~145 km SE
of Congaree NP. Scholtens and Wagner (2007) reported 1732 moth species from
the Great Smoky Mountains NP; that total was updated in 2011 to 1881 species by
J. Adams (Dalton State College, Dalton, GA, pers. comm.) and includes species
collected during an intensive 6-y (2000 to 2006) All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory
(ATBI) as well as those from prior and subsequent collections. The Great Smoky
Mountains NP encompasses 211,426 ha (522,427 ac) with elevations from 267 m
(875 ft) to 2024.8 m (6643 ft). The park contains 5 major forest types as well as
both grassy and heath balds (https://www.nps.gov/grsm/index.htm), and is located
~320 km NW of Congaree NP.
The 1005 species now reported for Congaree NP is only slightly lower than the
number recorded from the Dominick collection. The similarity in species richness
between these collections would be expected in that Congaree NP and The Wedge
Plantation are located in the Inner and Outer SC Coastal Plain, respectively, and
19

both contain bottomland forest habitats. The higher moth species richness reported
from the Great Smoky Mountains NP is also expected due to the significantly
greater size and habitat diversity of the Great Smoky Mountain NP compared to
Congaree NP.
Our survey provides valuable information on the composition of moth populations
and their seasonal trends in Congaree NP. Within the constraints of our survey
techniques, it also provides some indication of the relative abundance of the
species collected. Based on the number of new SC records of Microlepidoptera
in our survey, further studies focusing on this group would be valuable. Also,
because our survey was limited to accessible areas, we were unable to survey
much of the park east of the Boardwalk Loop Trail. Future studies could involve
deployment of traps by boat along the north shore of the Congaree River between
the West Boundary Road landing and US 601, and by canoe along the Cedar
Creek Canoe Trail. Additionally, habitat types where we had low numbers of samples
should be resurveyed.
