Moths All Night!

Come out to Prairie Ridge and celebrate National Moth Week with the Museum! After a brief introduction to moths in the outdoor classroom, we’ll head out to our black lights and traps to see what’s out and about throughout the night. Different species are active at different times, so stay all night for the best experience! Bring a flashlight, a camera (if you have one), and your moth questions to ask the experts. We’ll upload photos of the moths we see to a citizen science project website throughout the night so that our data can help scientists learn more about the species in our area. Dress for the weather; dark clothing is best; no open-toed shoes.
