Moth Night, All-Abilities Friendly

If crack-of-dawn birding excursions aren’t your thing, maybe it’s time to give moth watching a try. Since moths come out when the sun goes down, moth watching, or mothing, is a great activity for night owls.

Join moth expert Tim Hoen and our team of volunteer experts as we marvel at what moths, beetles, and other insects are lured to our viewing area by an irresistible mercury vapor light. We never know what we will find since the weather plays a huge role in the types and quantities of insects seen on any particular night. For moths to be active, the atmosphere needs to be warm and moist, but not rainy. Knowing that we will only be successful with the right weather conditions, we have chosen two consecutive nights, July 11 and July 12. Please note that only one night will be chosen to host this event, with the decision of which night based on the weather forecast early in the week.
