Macro-moth fauna ( lepidoptera: heterocera) of Tasik Chini, Pahang Malaysia.

A Study on aesthetic insects (macro-moth fauna) was conducted at three different locations of Tsik Chini area in Pahang , Malaysia The three locations were the base camp (site A) an abandoned mine (site B) and kampung melai (site c) Sampling were conducted from 22-26 may 2004 and from 22-24 july 200...
