Moth Outing - Toronto Entomologists' Association

[Donald A. Davis]

TEA members & friends,

   We're sorry that the May issue of Ontario Insects is a bit late. It
will
be mailed out this week.
   Meanwhile, here is the information on a moth outing we have planned
for
this Saturday, June 12th. If you would like to go, please contact Paul
McGaw as soon as
possible. We would like to be able to arrange carpooling for anyone that

would like to share. It should be a great evening.

Saturday, June 12
MOTHS OF THE CAROLINIAN FOREST
For this trip, we will be teaming up with the Fort Erie Naturalists
Club,
Buffalo Entomological Society and Niagara Peninsula Field Naturalists to

explore the silkworm moths of the Darcie Property at Point Albino, a
piece of
Carolinian forest privately owned by the Fort Erie Naturalists Club.
This is
a unique chance to see the property and potentially see some of the rare

insects and animals found in that area, such as the hognose snake.
Please
bring moth lights (many outlets), extra extension cords, moth bait (see
Ontario Insects,
Volume 3, Number 2 for a moth bait recipe), field guides and bug boxes.
The
meeting place (set for 8pm) will be arranged prior to the outing.
Contact
Paul McGaw (416261-6272) prior to June 12 for: information, a map to
the
location, or to make carpool arrangements (leaving from the Wilson
subway
station).  There are campgrounds and motels in the area, if
accommodation is
required, including the following:

Sandman Motel 905-894-1011, $35 per room
Sherkston Shores Campground 905-894-0972, $18 per night
Pleasant Beach Tent & Trailer Park 905-894-4249
