So cool you decided to share this story 👏 I love how I could follow the text listening to your top radio voice ✨ It must have been extremely exciting to travel like that at such a young age, and do all the stuff you did at the camp. I think I'd be pretty scared of using the aspirator and being so close to all these insects of various types. The moths you've mentioned must have been beautiful tho. I've never seen that big specimen. In Poland, the biggest moths are around 10cm. Your father had a truly fascinating job! And what happened at the camp around the subject of food is shocking. I can't imagine how awful you two must have felt.
You reminded me of my high school integration camp. I was in a biology and chemistry profiled class and on our first camp, we studied the local population of voles and bats. Every 3 hours (including the nights) we had to set traps (in forests, caves, and fields), measure weight, height, and check the sex of the caught animal before letting it free. I'll never forget this experience. It was absolutely awesome.
