Palouse prairie is a fragmented landscape that occurs in southeastern Washington, northwestern Idaho and northeastern Oregon. The prairie has been primarily converted to agricultural fields, grazing pastures and rural areas and, the less than 1% that is still intact consists primarily of small, isolated plots of land that were not amenable to farming. Little is known about the moth fauna in native Palouse habitats. In our study we are conducting a survey of the moths found in native prairie habitats. A site approximately 3 miles NW of Colton, WA (Whitman Co.) was chosen for our study. Known as Kramer, this land has never been farmed or grazed. Kramer is approximately 15 ha, and is surrounded by wheat and lentil crops. We are surveying the area, by using 15-watt black light traps, mercury vapor lamps and by sweep netting. Results from the first field season of our study will be presented.
