We are very excited to be starting a Moth Study Site at Winged Deer Park in 
Johnson City. It will be a part of Discover Life’s http://www.discoverlife.org/ 
long term project to study moth populations. http://www.discoverlife.org/moth/


 


Connie Deegan (City of Johnson City Naturalist) and I have the go ahead to get 
this cranked up as soon as we can. The project is going to require involvement 
from volunteers who would like to participate in citizen science. Our plans are 
to conduct the study on Wednesday and Thursday nights, about an hour after 
sunset, each week from March through October or November. 



We will set up lights to attract insects and photograph all that we observe. We 
will set up at the big white house. The photos will be submitted to the 
Discover Life collection and be used as long term data.



There will be a Study Site Reception with very special guest John Pickering at 
the site on Wednesday, March 26th at 7:00 pm. John is the creator of Discover 
Life. Please contact me if you would like more information about this exciting 
project.


 


Thanks,


Larry McDaniel
