Abstract
Over a period of 10 years, 2,435 male Ghost Moths Hepialus humuli thulensis
from the Faroe Islands were captured for a study of male colour morphs. The
pattern of local variation found in the Faroe Islands supports the hypothesis
that cryptic colouration is an adaptation to predation pressure from birds.
