The webinar will be available for viewing live through Zoom and Facebook. Advice will be given on what you can do from documenting biodiversity in your backyard, to monitoring invasive species, to documenting life histories, to describing new species (yes you too can describe a new species). We will explore the major role that amateurs have played through history right through to modern day contributions. What we don’t know can hurt us and in this talk we will look at some of the biggest gaps in our knowledge of moths and why it is important to fill these gaps. What we don’t know and what you can do about it: how amateur contributions are vital to moth research.

To help you wait patiently for better days ahead, please join the Ohio Lepidopterists for a free webinar on March 13th, from 2–3 PM, when we host Jason Dombroskie, Manager for the Cornell University Insect Collection and the Coordinator of the Insect Diagnostic Lab Cornell. >We’ve had an unusually snowy February here in Ohio but the days are getting longer, the sugar-boilers are tapping trees, and I heard the sound of snowmelt in my gutters yesterday, so take heart: spring is on the way. We’ll play by ear whether we’re safe to do a tally rally afterwards at one of the local restaurants, or at the picnic tables at the GRSF visitor center.įrom our friends and colleagues at The Ohio Lepidopterists, an upcoming webinar on amateur contributions to moth biology and conservation: I’ll be establishing sectors and soliciting volunteers for these sectors in April/May so we can have a good plan of action.

Plus, it’s an easy day trip from most central MD, southern PA, northern VA, and eastern WV locations. The circle was constructed to capture a diversity of butterfly habitats, from shale barrens to mature forest to ridgetop meadows to Potomac River frontage. This year the count will be July 10 (rain date July 11) in hopes of catching the metalmark flight. We hope this will become a regular annual NABA count. Tortoiseshells and White Admirals have been known to turn up as well.Īnd there have been systematic count efforts here before, notably Bob Ringler’s counts in eastern Allegany Co.

I say “new” but in fact GRSF is one of our iconic butterfly locations: Olympia Marble and Silvery Blue in the spring Appalachian Tiger and Giant Swallowtails, plus Hoary Edge, in early summer Northern Metalmark in midsummer. I’m happy to report we’ve just received the official blessings of the North American Butterfly Association to host a new annual count centered in Green Ridge State Forest, Maryland.
