Join us for an evening of nocturnal nature discovery as part of the Great Southern BioBlitz 2025! As the sun sets, we’ll be setting up moth traps to attract some of the amazing local insect life, and heading out with bat detectors to listen for our night-flying mammal neighbours.
🔦 What to expect:
A acoustic bat walk using ultrasonic detectors to hear and identify local bat species
Moth trapping to observe and document the diversity of moths and other nocturnal insects
