SUMMARY:Moth Night at Furstenberg Nature Area
DESCRIPTION:We had a great group at our first Moth Night! This iNaturalist project will begin capturing observations from last night as they are posted by participants: https://www.inaturalist.org/…/moth-night-at-furstenberg… \nTo see observations from all WBNA Moth Nights\, check out this iNaturalist.org umbrella project (aka project of projects ): https://www.inaturalist.org/…/moth-nights-of-washtenaw… \nTo see all moth observations within the City of Ann Arbor\, view this project: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/moths-of-ann-arbor \nA huge thank you to Susan Kielb\, Heidi Trudell\, and Michael Kielb for their time and expertise in making this a great event! \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCome out and join us as for our first moth night of the year! Check out our Moth Nights of Washtenaw Bird & Nature Alliance iNaturalist project to view hundreds of observations with photos\, species details\, and more for all of our past moth night events. \nWhy care about moths? Ninety seven percent of all North American land birds rely on animal protein to raise their young. For most birds\, that means insects. And for most of them\, that means caterpillars. Without abundant moth larva\, there is not enough animal protein to raise the young of our beloved birds. It takes approximately 9\,000 caterpillars to raise one brood of Black-capped Chickadees from hatching to fledgling! Now\, think of all the birds you see out there. It’s hard to imagine the numbers required. So\, you can see\, moths are integral to the reproduction of most of our birds we love. They’re our allies in birding and getting to know them is a joy. \nThey are among the most diverse and successful organisms on earth. Scientists estimate there are 150\,000 to more than 500\,000 moth species. Their colors and patterns are either dazzling or so cryptic that they define camouflage. Shapes and sizes span the gamut from as small as a pinhead to as large as an adult’s hand. Most moths are nocturnal\, and need to be sought at night to be seen – others fly like butterflies during the day. Finding them can be as simple as leaving a porch light on and checking it after dark. Serious moth aficionados use special lights and baits to attract them. \nOnce again\, Susan Kielb and Heidi Trudell will guide us through the process of attracting\, identifying\, and enjoying these amazing creatures. \nSuggestions for Attendees: \n\nA headlamp or flashlight would be nice to have.\nNinja night with moths! Wearing black is the best way to keep moths on the sheet and not your shirt.\nIt might be nice to bring a camp chair if you would like to sit.\n\nDirections: Meet at the Furstenberg Nature Area parking lot off of Fuller Road (map).
