Event Details

Presenter Sam Kiechnick will talk all about moths. Insects are a crucial part of the diet of most birds at some time in their lives. In this program, learn about one of the most important groups of insects for birds. Although not quite as famed as their day-flying cousins, moths are tremendously diverse and have some magnificent patterns. In the DFW area, we have documented over 800 species of moths. Learn ways you can manage your habitat to encourage moth diversity and find out some ways that you can document and identify the various species that you might see.

Sam Kieschnick is an urban wildlife biologist with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, serving the east side of the DFW metroplex. He has a master’s degree from Tarleton State University studying the genetics of pocket gophers.  As an urban wildlife biologist, Sam’s focus is on three A’s: Awareness, Appreciation, and Action.

"Master Naturalists Present..." is a monthly series featuring presentations from local nature experts of the nonprofit North Texas Master Naturalists.
