Moths belongs to the order Lepidoptera and the estimated number of species in India are about 10000. Present study was an attempt to explore moth diversity from different sites of Balaghat city situated in south Madhya Pradesh. Bio-diversity of the moths were investigated from July 2021 - Oct 2021. A total number of 69 moth species were recorded and identified up to family level and 14 families were recorded under 9 super families. Moths can be used as bioindicators as they are easily affected by a minute change in environment. They are also well known as agricultural pest and pollinators. As little work has been reported in this area, the present study is the first attempt to document the moth fauna, reporting 69 moth species in Balaghat city.
