Join Whitehorse’s plant and animal identification guru Ian Moodie for an exciting exploration of the creepy crawlies that live in our natural world at Yarran Dheran.

Now, they don’t all creep. They don’t all crawl. But they are all fascinating and a surprisingly important part of our human environment as well as of wildlife habitat in Yarran Dheran!

This event is conducted by City of Whitehorse in collaboration with the Yarran Dheran Advisory Committee, as part of the Great Southern BioBlitz , an event to gather observation data about the species inhabiting our natural world.

Download the iNaturalist app at https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/ which has the ability to suggest species for you and use your photographs to help you in the ID of insects. You can use the app at any time, no need to wait for an event

Wear clothing suitable for the weather, including enclosed shoes.

📍 Where: Enter at the Ashburton Drive entrance to Yarran Dheran and walk through the car park to meet at the Visitors Centre.
