Moth Taxonomy and Identification with Hugh McGuinness & JoAnne Russo

This five-day seminar will provide an intensive immersion into the study of moths. Our methods include lectures about the taxonomy, evolution and anatomy of moths; hands-on lab work including traps sorts, dissection, and specimen preparation; and night-time identification at lights. Depending on student interest, we can also include day-time field trips to look for larvae and diurnal Lepidoptera. This course aims to give participants a complete range of skills — from visual identification to dissection — for succeeding with learning Lepidoptera. We also value flexibility and our course is designed to be responsive to the interests of participants. With two instructors, we will be able to split into different working groups during the course of the day.
