RARE MOTH FOUND
IN WINDSOR SWEATER DAYS AT
WINDSOR-ESSEX SCHOOLS
A certain insect has been found for the first time
in Canada - right here in Windsor-Essex.
The Nallachius Americanus looks like a small
moth, but the lacewing is extremely rare. Locally,
the insect has not been seen in the area since a
sighting in Detroit in 1944.
The sighting was in July 2017 but
documentation has finally been processed. Some area schools are turning down the heat a
few days each month to save money.
As part of an eco-initiative, GECDSB schools
have turned down the heat by two or three
degrees, turned off lights for lunch hours and
participated in Earth Hour.
Sweater Day is part of the six-month initiative,
which is organized by the World Wildlife
Foundation. Since 2010, over one million
Canadians have participated.
