A Celebration of Moths – ONLINE MEETING
Join Boulder County Audubon on Tuesday, February 23rd to celebrate moths with Pam Piombino. Overlooked and understudied, these primarily night-flying Lepidoptera deserve more attention. The importance of their huge contributions to ecological systems are gaining greater appreciation by the year and cannot be understated. Researchers are slowly teasing out the secrets of their distribution, abundance, variation and adaptations for life on the dark side. Pam will give an overview of their natural history and, thanks to her mercury vapor and ultra-violet lamps, photos of the often spectacular species from both Colorado and southeast Asia.
Pam Piombino has been involved with Boulder County Audubon for most of the last 35 years (except when the family moved abroad to Norway and Egypt, 1997-2010), serving in many Board positions. There is nothing about the natural world and its complex interrelationships that do not fascinate her. In 1985 Pam joined a BCAS Saturday birdwatching trip led by Freeman Hall and was immediately hooked. Birds have been her “gateway drug” into many other areas of natural history. Pam’s interests and activities include maintaining large native and xeric gardens, butterfly surveys on Boulder County Open Space coordinated by Jan Chu, Red Sea Mollusca while in Egypt, and documenting butterflies and moths while traveling to southeast Asia and here in Colorado. Of course, birds, always birds everywhere! Photo credit for all photos on this page: Pam Piombino.
