It is
also possible that diversity on the farm is high
enough to obscure results from the sampling period.
Sites often had morphospecies that were
unique, even when only 100m away. Every site
continually yielded new morphospecies at similar
rates during the sampling period. A concurrent
study at the Kew Park house 1 km away
measured species accumulation over time. The
number of macrolepidoptera morphospecies
caught after four nights using similar methods
was approximately 60% of the total identifi ed at
the end of 15 days, including many not seen on
the farm
