Dr. Barrentine contemplates the Peterson Guide
Folks, this is a big get for us. Dr. Carl Barrentine of Grand Forks, ND is more than making up for last year with a full month of moth-related activities – everything from moth art to informative presentations, and of course, blacklighting will be included in Carl’s Moth Month agenda. The Grand Forks Public Library will host a moth art exhibit from July 8 – 28 and Turtle River State Park will hold three blacklighting events.
Carl runs the website Dakota Naturalist and you can check out his Moth Month activities here.

What’s more, Carl has his own YouTube channel for nature videos complete with a 25-part (!) series on ND moth identification. Here’s one of his videos detailing the early spring moths of northeastern North Dakota:
