此一資料集為農業部生物多樣性研究所 Taiwan Biodiversity Research Institute, MOA ; TBRI；(原 特有生物研究保育中心 Taiwan Endemic Species Research Institute, TESRI)進行蛾類調查並採集、製作標本，將其所得標本之資料建成資料集。所有標本均逐一拍照，照片並上傳至flickr網站。資料建檔起初是使用Access開發的檔案型資料庫，自2018年9月起，將資料轉入MS SQL Server
，並開發網路版資料建檔頁面。自2013年起，生物多樣性研究所組織超過100位的蛾類調查志工參與協助蛾類的調查、採集與標本製作，使得標本數與資料筆數均大幅成長。所有標本目前分別存放於農業部生物多樣性研究所 、中央研究院及國立自然科學博物館；截至2024年3月，已在153處地點進行1,359次調查，累積資料筆數125,151筆。農業部生物多樣性研究所並開發一網站「台灣飛蛾資訊分享站(http://twmoth.tesri.gov.tw/peo/aboutme.aspx)」，提供各界查詢及下載查詢結果。
This dataset is generated by the Taiwan Biodiversity Research Institute, MOA (Ministry of Agriculture), TBRI (formerly known as the Taiwan Endemic Species Research Institute, TESRI), and it involves the investigation, collection, and specimen preparation of moths. The data obtained from these specimens have been organized into a dataset. Each specimen has been individually photographed, and these photos are uploaded to the Flickr website. Initially, data archiving was done using an Access-based file database. Since September 2018, the data has been transferred to MS SQL Server, and a web-based data archiving interface has been developed.
Since 2013, the Taiwan Biodiversity Research Institute has organized over 100 volunteers to assist in moth investigations, collection, and specimen preparation. This has significantly increased the number of specimens and data records. All specimens are currently stored at the Taiwan Biodiversity Research Institute, Academia Sinica, and the National Museum of Natural Science. As of March 2024, a total of 1,359 surveys have been conducted at 153 locations, accumulating 125,151 data records. The Taiwan Biodiversity Research Institute has also developed a website called the "Taiwan Moth Information Sharing Site (http://twmoth.tesri.gov.tw/peo/aboutme.aspx)" to provide various users with the ability to query and download search results.
