Native Host Plants for Texas Moths presentation – Feb 16, 2023


Last night I was delighted to catch the Native Plant Society of Texas (Williamson County Chapter) sponsored presentation, Native Host Plants for Texas Moths, by Jim and Lynne Weber. Jim and Lynne are accomplished naturalists living in the central Texas region who have published several books that include their wonderful wildlife photography. Their excellent talk covered examples of nectar and host plants, as well as details on interactions between moths and those plants. I have to say though, as a wanna-be photographer, my favorite parts were the stunning pictures they showed of caterpillars and adult moths.

Those of you who are members of Travis Audubon likely received an email that you can attend the same interactive Zoom presentation with Jim and Lynne on Thu, Feb 16, 7-8 PM. I highly encourage your participation. It’s unclear to me if you have to be a member of Travis Audubon to join the talk, but I’ve included an announcement link below that is on the Travis Audubon website.
