SUMMARY:Austin Butterfly Forum's April Meeting  w/ Guest Speaker Val Bugh - Open to the Public and Free to Attend!

From inception to the vast number of identifications and observations accumulated\, this program tells the story of the Fauna Project. Photography is an important tool in this study\, so there is no dearth of colorful images to highlight the insects\, spiders\, birds\, reptiles\, etc. and their behaviors. Take a close look at the biome\, glimpse some of the diverse residents in an organically cultivated native plant habitat and see why variety is the spice of life. \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\nVal specializes in the arthropods of the Austin area\, with interests in taxonomy\, ecology and photography.
