The three-day event will involve six different activities, starting on Friday 4th with a tour of “Diversity”, the new Australian National Insect Collection (ANIC) building at CSIRO Black Mountain Laboratories. That tour will be followed by a field trip to subalpine woodland in the Brindabella Ranges to learn about sampling techniques for monitoring butterflies, and also light trapping for moths in the evening. Saturday will comprise a keynote address and short talks in the Australian National Botanic Gardens, with an off-site banquet dinner that evening. On Sunday the MABA Event will conclude with a moth identification workshop.
