Episode 217
Sunday, 17 August, 2025
Mary Stone shares her experience 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 ecological indicators. Mary highlights the Bird Poop Moth's camouflage and the Rosy Maple Moth's charm, amongst other remarkable moths, and the beauty and significance of nocturnal insects.Related Stories: Moth Survey in a Mountain Meadow - Blog PostEpisode 100 Antics of Meadow WildlifeAntics of Meadow Wildlife - Blog PostEp 101.
