Description
Moths might look like the frumpier cousin of butterflies, but they're far more beautiful and important than most people realize. When the sun goes down, go on a guided walk through the sanctuary to discover the flying insects that come out in the dark.
Using simple tricks like a white sheet and a blacklight, we'll draw in moths for up-close examination while learning about our local species and why they're important. At the end, you'll get tips on simple ways you can support moth populations and boost backyard biodiversity.
