dc.description.abstractThe fauna of Scragh Bog reflects the diverse transitions from groundwater-fed areas of fen to acidic raised mire for which the site was designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). Lists of invertebrates with comments on notable species in this report, paint a picture of an exceptionally diverse natural landscape supporting a nationally significant fauna. Overall, 480 species were recorded, including 165 beetles, 109 moths and 98 spider species. When compared to earlier surveys and the available lists, the results of this survey have shown that most elements of the fen and wetland fauna are still present. Some additional notable species were found which adds to the information on the site. The conclusion from this study is that, based on the invertebrate fauna, the site remains in favourable conservation status.en
