Great Southern Bioblitz

Want to help the environment, get out in nature, take photos of flora & fauna & use iNaturalist to record the biodiversity of our region. Why not  attend one of Springfield Lakes Nature Care's  activities as part of the Great Southern Bioblitz. #GSB23

Moths are a fascinating yet often overlooked group of insects, &amp; as a result some of Australia's most important species remain poorly understood. Moths are an important part of the biodiversity as they pollinate plants &amp; provide food for birds, bats &amp; other wildlife. However, since the late 1960s total moth numbers have declined by around a third &amp; in the twentieth century over 60 species of moth became extinct. It is important to understand the distribution &amp; habitat requirements of moths so that they can be conserved. Events such as Moth Night have an important role to play in this understanding. S﻿ee the poster below to help you set up your Moth Night Activity or check out the Moth Night You Tube. You can do a moth night every night during the Bioblitz if you wish as moths will not fly during rain. So if you do a few recordings over the 4 nights of the bioblitz you will have more chances of capturing different moths. You could even try out different locations in Greater Springfield or the Ipswich region.To become involved in the Moth Night Bioblitz you will need to download the iNaturalist app and then upload the photos you have taken in the Ipswich area to the project folder Click on this link which will take you to the <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/great-southern-bioblitz-2022-ipswich-queensland" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/projects/great-southern-bioblitz-2023-ipswich-queensland &amp; d﻿on't forget to obscure the location if you did it in your backyard.
