Title

Caterpillar counts from grass margins and hedgerows under streetlights, Oxfordshire, UK, 2018-2020

Abstract

This dataset contains information about moth caterpillar abundance at sites lit by streetlights (LED; high pressure sodium and low-pressure sodium) and unlit control sites. Caterpillars were sampled at 26 matched pairs of lit and unlit sites between 2018 and 2020 as part of a study of the effects of street lighting on the early life stages of moths.
