Mary Stone shares participating in a moth survey with Blaine Rothauser of GZA Geoenvironmental, Inc., and Dennis Briede, whose mountain meadow is at the base of the Kittatinny Mountains in Blairstown, New Jersey.
Using metal halide and ultraviolet lights to attract moths, they recorded 80 species by 11:15 PM. Blaine emphasizes the importance of moths as indicators of ecological health. Mary highlights the Bird Poop Moth's camouflage and the Rosy Maple Moth's charm, among other remarkable moths, as well as the beauty and significance of nocturnal insects.
