For forty days and forty nights, naturalists Charley Eiseman and Noah Charney traveled the continent conducting field work for their award-winning book, Tracks and Sign of Insects and Other Invertebrates. They returned with thousands of photographs which illustrate egg cases, cocoons, galls, leaf mines, burrows, nests, and many other curiosities. On this walk at Project Native’s 54 acre property, Charley and Noah will see how many weird and wonderful tracks and sign of insects and other invertebrates they can find and interpret for us.
After this walk, you will find yourself looking in the crook of trees, in rolled up leaves, and even in strange bulges on plant stems to see what sign you can find of who might be living there.
Winner of the 2010 National Outdoor Book Awards
Tracks & Signs of Insects and other Invertebrates is an outstanding work and a first-of-its-kind. The purpose of this 592-page guide is to aid in identifying beetles, spiders, flies, ants, slugs, and many other invertebrates from the sign they leave behind. Signs include egg and egg cases, droppings, secretions, webs, cocoons, coverings, galls, burrows, mounds, tracks and trails. Included are 1,000 color photos and some 2,000 species. It’s clearly a must-have for anyone who enjoys learning more about the invertebrates.
