Eswatini Lepidoptera Checklist - Butterflies and Moths
Provisional Illustrated Moths Checklist
Adobe pdf versions of the provisional moths checklist as at May 2023 can be downloaded here. This is very much still a work in progress, and it is expected that many more species will be added, the list currently includes over 1750 species. It is also likely that there are incorrectly identified records and other errors. The checklist now includes a number of records by Neville Duke, specimens held by the Ditsong Museum in South Africa, data provided by Hermann Staude. Please contact me if you notice any errors.
