SUMMARY:Introduction to How to Attract and Identify Moths.
DESCRIPTION:A Moth Night – An Introduction to How to Attract and Identify MothsWhen: Wednesday August 4\, 2021Time: 9 pm – 11:15 pm (Aug 5 – Rain Date) plus Thursday August 5 at 7 am to open Moth traps for ID\, Photos and ReleaseWhere: Grey Sauble Conservation Administration Centre and Arboretum\, 237897 Inglis Falls Road\, RR 4\, Owen Sound\, Ontario N4K 5N6 \n\n\n\nAlan Macnaughton has good equipment and techniques for attracting moths\, and he can show other people how to do it. He will set up several stations and use several lights (black light) and bait (rotting bananas). It will be an excellent opportunity to learn various methods of attracting moths.  \n\n\n\nTo register – please contact: jwdickso@gmail.com  Priority will be given to OSFN members\, but please register early to avoid disappointment.  \n\n\n\nDue to COVID-19\, Public Health Guidelines will be observed\, including masks and social distancing. \n\n\n\nExtra information – Guests of OSFN – Area members of the Toronto Entomologists’ Association may be joining us. \n\n\n\nEquipment –Bring cameras or phones for taking pictures and perhaps some transparent pill bottles to temporarily capture the moths for handing around to others before they are released. Phones are often best because they may have an internet connection (is this possible in the park?) to allow uploading observations to the www.iNaturalist.ca website for automated (image recognition software) species identification. Also\, if they happen to have it\, bring the Leckie and Beadle book\, Peterson Field Guide to the Moths of Northeastern North America. One of the lights is bright and some people might want sunglasses when they get near it. \n\n\n\nBinoculars are not needed. You will be able to touch the bugs. \n\n\n\nMoth at Porchlight (Photo by Brian Robin)

SUMMARY:Monarch Tagging Workshop with Audrey Armstrong
DESCRIPTION:This family friendly event will take place on Saturday August 21 (rain date August 22) from 1 to 3 pm at the Isaac Lake Boat Launch just north of Wiarton. How is it that monarch butterflies migrate 4\,000 km to a place they’ve never been before? Why do we still need Citizen Scientists to assist in a North American monarch tagging initiative? How can they fly with a tiny “license plate” stuck to one wing? And how can you help monarchs in our Grey/Bruce area? These questions and your questions will be addressed in the afternoon tagging workshop. We hope to net and tag monarchs to send off to Mexico\, so wear your running shoes and bring your insect nets (some will be provided). Please pre register with Audrey at: sweetwateraudrey@gmail.com. Numbers to be determined by COVID regulations. Once you register\, further details will be sent to you. \n\n\n\nPhoto by Brian Robin

SUMMARY:Aquatic Invertebrate Identification with Rosie Martin
DESCRIPTION:Aquatic Invertebrate Identification with Rosie MartinSaturday November 6th\, 2:00-5:00 pm\, Harrison ParkMax group size 25 (drop in/out style rather than hike)Meet in Harrison Park (by the river just east of the playground washrooms\, see attached map) to learn tips on how to identify aquatic insects like (larval) dragonflies\, damselflies\, mayflies\, caddisflies and more. I will have tables set up with microscopes and invertebrates collected from a nearby beaver pond. The event will run from 2:00-5:00 on a drop in/drop out basis. I will be giving a stream sampling demonstration around 2:30\, and will talk briefly about differences between organisms living in lentic and lotic habitats. Kid friendly (please supervise around water)!Please send me an email if you want to attend at rosemary.martin@mail.utoronto.ca so I can keep track of attendance for contact tracing purposes. Please bring a mask if you wish to use the microscopes\, hand sanitizer will be provided.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRosemary “Rosie” Martin is a senior PhD Candidate in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto Mississauga. Her work focuses on how aquatic insects overwinter and how the under-ice physical conditions determine who survives\, who stays active\, who eats whom\, and how that all plays into food web and community structure in subsequent seasons. Rosie is a new OSFN member and is excited to meet everyone!
