Carla Rhodes, a wildlife conservation photographer and moth enthusiast, will give a presentation all about moths: what mothing is, how to do it, why moths are important, and what moths you might see in your own backyard!

Carla will go over the basic mothing setup anyone can make with a simple sheet and light, as well as other alternatives for attracting and observing moths on your own. Carla will also show some of the phenomenal up-close photos she’s captured of moths in her own yard and discuss the variety of host plants these moths use throughout their life cycles. And she’ll, of course, talk about the importance of moths and why they’re just as beautiful as butterflies—if not more beautiful—and far more essential to global pollination.
