Eye Spy with My Little Eye

A white dune slopes toward the vegetation of the desert floor with a mountain range in the distance.
As far as the eye can see, the dunes stretch to meet the mountains and the setting sun.

The unique environment here is home to over 800 species of plants and animals. Of those, over 650 are moths! Moths are important pollinators for the plants of the dunefield and great snacks for the birds and bats. Imagine being a bird or a bat migrating and coming across this island feast!
