GCMN – Celebrate Pollinator Week Mothing at Deer Park Prairie

It’s Pollinator Week!  See the iNaturalist project hosted by the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign here: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/pollinator-week-2024-pollinator-bioblitz. Note that you need to join the project in order for your observations of bees, wasps, butterflies, hover flies, hummingbirds and, of course, MOTHS to be included.

In honor of Pollinator Week, we’re mothing at Deer Park Prairie this Saturday, June 22.  Light stations will be set up near the house and along the boardwalk, so no prairie-wading gear needed.  Come with your headlamp/flashlight and ring light/flash to see who is flying now.  Log your observation and travel time as GCMN-Data Collection.  Not into iNaturalist?  That’s ok, you can come and just watch, too, and even bring kids (but please don’t log vms time for it).

Please park on the school side of the street, not in front of neighbors’ homes.
