These databases contain collated trait data for 925 species of macro- and micro-moths recorded on the Landscape-scale Species monitoring of Agri-Environment Schemes (LandSpAES) project, on farmland in six regions of England (The Fens, High Weald, South Suffolk / North Essex, Warwickshire, Yorkshire Dales, Dartmoor) during 2017-2021.

The traits collated include life cycle ecology and phenology, conservation status and relative abundance, host plant specificity and characteristics, adult feeding, pupal habitat, breeding habitat, and morphological characteristics. Broader categories, such as breeding habitat, are also split into sub-categories.
