Welcome to my moth web site. I created this site to share the images of moths that I've been collecting in and around the Ottawa Valley. Thank you for visiting. Enjoy!

Feb. 20, 2012 - The travelling version of the moth show Winged Tapestries: Moths at Large opened at the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton on Feb. 18 and runs through the summer. The show features many of the Ottawa moths from the 2010 Moths at Large show at the Canadian Museum of Nature, but also includes several new images of moths collected on my trip to the west coast in July 2011. There are a total of 45 large format prints in all, of which 26 are currently on view in the Feature Exhibitions gallery. Here's what The Edmonton Journal wrote about the show.
