A preliminary study of the moths species in AL Ghyran park, Janzour city which located in (the west coast of Libya) this study was conducted from June 2020 to September 2020 in grassland created Habitats. A total of 7 species (Heliothis peltigera, Tetracis cachexiata, Sesamia nonagrioides, Pyrausta despicata, Agriphila inquinatella, Cornifrons ulceratalis and Acronicta aceris) were recorded belonging to 3 families, including to (Noctuidae, Geometridae and Crambidae). there three very common species were recorded (Pyrausta despicata, Heliothis peltigera and Sesamia nonagrioides). nonetheless, there was one species seen two time on restore grassland (Tetracis cachexiata).
