November Outing - Insects Symposium

The November outing, Saturday 19th, is an opportunity to learn a little more about the insects in our area. This is to be held at a private property so please check your newsletter for details. Otherwise contact us through our blog email: fassifernfieldnaturalists[at]gmail.com.

Our respected member, Barry, will open up the fascinating world of insects and also provide members and guests with the opportunity to inspect different insects up close with the aid of microscopes.

Members are encouraged to bring along any insects, photos and stories about insects (or anything else) to share with everyone present. 

It is also a social time for members to catch up after their travels. Come for morning tea, and stay to be entertained.

Don’t forget your cameras, insect repellent (to get the critters for further research!!!)

Moths, or ....

.... bees, or ....

.... beetles. Whatever takes your fancy.

Goomburra National Park - October camp

Due to the number of members away on their own adventures, it was a small group of Field Nats who gathered at Manna Gum campground. However we still had a great time on our walks and around the campfire.
