Come and learn all about moths! Although they may not be as famous as their day-flying cousins the butterflies; moths are extremely important in the ecosystem. As a matter of fact, the diversity of moths can tell us a lot about the plant diversity in an area. We’ll have some light traps up to examine moths up close and learn about their incredible diversity and life habits.
Data collected will contribute data & link vegetation surveys and privet removal to invertebrate species diversity in an ongoing prairie restoration project at Tandy Hills.
