Between travels and the general busyness of spring, I have been remiss in posting about the upcoming Mothapalooza. It takes place from July 14 thru the 16, at the gorgeous Highlands Nature Sanctuary in Highland County, Ohio. As last year, it is hosted by the Arc of Appalachia. The mothing in this region is superb, and participants can expect to see scores of interesting species including a number of crowd-pleasing giant silk moths. Daytime field trips will produce much in the way of interesting flora and fauna. Photographers are sure to net scads of interesting images.

Doug Tallamy will be returning, as will the incomparable Sam Jaffe and his caterpillar lab. There will be many knowledgeable guides to help lead you through the labyrinth of moths and their identities. For complete details and registration information, CLICK HERE. Hope to see you there!
