National Moth Week is held in July and offers everyone, everywhere a unique opportunity to become a citizen scientist. Participants can help map moth distribution and provide needed information on other life history aspects around the globe.
If you'd like to join a light sheeting event to look for moths, already have one planned, or want to organise one, please contact the Australian coordinator David Rentz at bunyipco@yahoo.com. Once finalised, events will be advertised on nationalmothweek.org for all to join!
Any unusual plant pest, disease or weed should be reported.
Reporting hotlines operate in both Australia and New Zealand (numbers shown below).
Australian Exotic Plant Pest Hotline
New Zealand Pest and Disease Hotline
Pests can also be reported using apps, such as MyPestGuide® for Australia, that allow you to submit a photo of the pest or symptoms.
Every report is taken seriously and handled confidentially. Management of calls varies in different areas, but to the same end.
Join a community of professionals dedicated to strengthening surveillance capacity and capability across the Australasia-Pacific region.
