Naturalist Program: Moths and More

Discover the nighttime world of moths and more with naturalists from Nature Enthusiations! 

Explore a diversity of moths and other evening insects and how to attract these and other beneficial ‘bugs’.  

• Help set up and monitor a light sheet lure.
• Compare how moths differ from their butterfly relatives.
• See what’s inside an ‘empty’ moth cocoon.
• Practice using iNaturalist and field guides to help identify what we find.

This is a free event with no registration required. 

• Drop in any time from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.  
• Please wear closed-toe shoes and bring a flashlight or headlamp. 
• If you’re worried about mosquitoes, we recommend wearing clothes that cover your skin and/or an insect headnet. 
• PLEASE avoid applying insect repellant near the Pond House and on your hands.
• Program is geared towards adults and families with kids 10 years of age and above.
