The wide world of moths

from Wombat Forestcare ……………………”We have our next ‘You, Me & Biodiversity’ lecture coming up. Saturday 16 May, 1.30 to 3.30pm at the Trentham Neighbourhood Centre.

This talk should be really interesting – Steve Williams on Moths. Did you know that there are over 140 families of moths with somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 species but only about 400 butterfly species. Many moth species are undescribed.

Steve found a new species on his property at Eppalock and we will learn about moths in our environment.”
