by Jerry Martin

This project is based on the lifecycle and behaviour of Odontognophos dumetata Hibernica and was carried out over the period of Spring 1995 to January 1997

Odontognophos dumetata Hibernica is a subspecies of a moth, usually found only near the Mediterranen. The Irish specimen is particularly unusual due to the very different climate which exists here.
