Great Southern Bioblitz 2021 - Shoalhaven Budawang Coast's Journal

Moths are totally underrated! Hundreds of different species can be attracted and observed in your backyard. Masters of camouflage, they can look almost exactly like objects in nature such as leaves, bark or even dried sap! Observe what you can and upload your pictures onto iNaturalist!

A short video to show how easy it is to cast a white light on a sheet and just wait for those amazing moths to land! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1r2ap0YNYg&t=13s
