We will also spend time at dusk using a bat detector to monitor for bat activity in the area! \n\n\n\nWhy use black lights? \n\n\n\nMany insects can see ultraviolet light\, which has shorter wavelengths than light visible to the human eye. For this reason\, a black light will attract different insects than a regular incandescent light.  \n\n\n\nWe will be using the  iNaturalist app\, to take photos and share to the community science platform. No prior experience necessary! \n\n\n\nLocation:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVolunteer with DLiA \n\n\n\nVolunteers have contributed significantly to the success of the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) since we began\, through field work\, education and outreach\, and financial support. DLiA could not continue to function without the help of our dedicated volunteers and supporters. Thank you!
