Habitat detail

"During 2012, IB and KR spent two weeks moth-recording in Cyprus, between 14 and 27 April, based at the Vasilias Nikoklis Inn, Nikókleia, near Pafos. Trapping involved the use of a 6 watt Actinic Heath trap. The grounds of the hotel comprise a mix of olive and citrus grove, a small vegetable patch, and garden planting. The hotel sits in the Diárizos river valley at an altitude of about 70 m and approximately five km from the coast, south-east of Pafos" (Barton et al. 2013).
