March Meeting Details - Glenda Walter "Backyard Beasties", 4 March 2022


Austral Ellipsidion
(Ellipsidion australe)
Time and Place:
7.00pm. St. Anthony’s Community Centre, Memory Street, Toowoomba


Club member, Glenda Walter, will give a talk on the little scuttling things in your garden.
Not having had an opportunity to study biology at school, Glenda's interest firstly in fungi, and then when drought intervened in insects and spiders, meant a steep learning curve. This meant, sometimes making embarrassing mistakes, but also that there are creatures out there which she'd never encountered before – finding something new and observing its behaviour was and still is very exciting. When living in Toowoomba she spent a lot of time in local parks with her camera, but since moving to Crows Nest in June 2020 she's photographed and attempted to identify the creatures she's seen in her backyard. She looks forward to sharing some of them with you.

Current Covid Rules for Attending Meetings at St Anthony’s:
