Hey Lep Clubbers, it’s our last meeting of 2024! We’ll wrap up the year with park ranger Lauren Curtis, who has been catching and recording moths at Patapsco Valley State Park. By setting traps in different parts of the park and making observations, she has recently identified her 80th moth! We’ll learn about her findings and her plans for the park’s moth program.
If you love butterflies and moths, consider joining the NHSM Lep Club. Made up of novice and expert lepidopterists who meet to exchange knowledge and support concerning habitat, threats, food sources, identification, and life cycle of butterflies and moths, the Lep Club encourages the sharing of knowledge for the raising and breeding of moths and butterflies through hands-on lessons and guest speakers. Club members are also involved in outreach in the greater Baltimore community through educational programs and service projects.
