Visit by New Zealand’s Mothman!
To rival our patron Ruud Kleinpaste – the Bugman, New Zealand’s Mothman Brian Patrick visited in December. He had come to do some surveys for DoC at Awarua but came and stayed with us for a few days with his family. He was impressed with the new giant bug jigsaws that Janet Hodgetts had just finished for the Education Centre. A moth survey undertaken at our place a few years ago (light trapping at night) had collected over 60 different moth species.
