Insects at Gluepot
Location
Gluepot Reserve
About
Participants will learn about the importance of invertebrates as well as the life cycles, orders and identification of insects. There will be plenty of hands-on opportunities, including in-door (preserving and identifying specimens) and in the field using a variety of collection methods, including - pitfall and light trapping, sweep netting and soil sieving. Andrew Humpage will treat us with insights on how best to photograph invertebrates (particularly during the night-walk). All of these activities contribute to cataloguing and understanding the wide variety of invertebrates within our Mallee ecosystems.
The establishment of pitfall traps and a light trap is planned for Friday evening. - Those who can attend are invited to participate.
