Moth Night in Canatara!

A cotton sheet, piece of rope, portable work light and a couple of lawn chairs were carried to the edge of Tarzanland in Canatara Park during the BioBlitz. We wanted to see what moths and other critters would be attracted to the Moth Station. Below is a selection of our finds viewed between 9:00 and 11:45 pm!

One of the first visitors was a Woody Underwing who kindly opened its wings to expose the coloured hind wings!
