About this event

  • 2 hours 30 minutes

Come explore the flying creatures of night as we hang lights to attract moths and other nocturnal beauties. We will learn about moth ecology and identification as we examine the species that are attracted to our lights. Will we see luna moths? Ness beetles? June bugs? Giant cecropia moths? Maybe giant eyed click beetles? Come and find out! This event is open to ages 10 and up (participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult).

What to Expect: This event will include an easy, approximately ½ mile hike to a moth lighting station and is open to ages 10 and up (participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult). Restrooms are not available.

What to Bring: Dress for the weather, bring a headlamp if you have one (if not, we will have some to share).
