Abstract
The study was carried out to investigate the occurrence of moths in agriculture, grassland, and forest hill areas, moths collected from the Aurangabad district from January 2023 to March 2024. The moths were randomly collected from the selected sites in Aurangabad. A total number of 30 moth specimens were collected using the light trap method with the help of a vertical sheet light trap. The identification process focused on family-level classification. A total of 30 moth specimens were collected, representing families such as Erebidae, Noctuidae, Geometridae, Sphingdae, Crambidae, Metarbelidae, Nolidae and Lasiocampidae.
