Speakers: Presenters: Kira Nuviae, Grace Sigmon, John Gerwin
Our speakers will present highlights of two projects they have conducted recently to document arthropod diversity at two sites in the Uwharries. For 10 years, they have conducted bird work at one private property site in southern Randolph County. 2 years, Kira, John and others began a concerted effort to document many arthropods; while Grace began a pollinator survey among several native plant gardens at the NC Zoo.
With so many species of insects, spiders, snails and such, much remains unknown about the distribution of these invertebrates, especially in the Uwharries region of central NC, where little biological inventory work has been done.

Park (for free after 6:30 pm) and walk to the main museum entrance on Jones Street, just to the right of the giant globe. Since the NCSM is closed at night, someone will be at the door ONLY from 7 to 7:45 to let you in, so be on time. Take the elevator to the fourth floor meeting room. The east-facing entrance to the "old wing" of the museum will not be used.
If you feel unwell, please stay home and enjoy our presentation using Zoom. The meeting will be recorded and the link will appear in the next monthly newsletter.
