Identification & Appreciation Walk DESCRIPTION:Today's Adventure Ecology:\n\nThis event is currently full. Keep an eye out for more Adventure Ecology programs on our events calendar! Why do moths get a bad rap? While most other pollinators tuck in for the night\, moths emerge for the night shift and continue to pollinate after dark. Join us after-hours in the SLA Barn for a brief presentation on moth identification\, life cycles\, and their importance in our ecosystems. Following the presentation\, we will head outside and use lights to attract moths on large sheets for easy viewing. These light traps are an excellent way to safely observe the vast diversity of moths and other nighttime insects up close. Have your camera ready!It’s important to keep in mind that light traps will be the most successful on dry\, non-windy nights; therefore\, our moth catch rate can vary depending on the conditions. Feel free to stay the entire duration\, or head to bed early as we observe insects throughout the night. Hot chocolate\, tea\, and other sweets will be provided!This program is for all ages.

Keep an eye out for more Adventure Ecology programs on our events calendar! Why do moths get a bad rap? While most other pollinators tuck in for the night\, moths emerge for the night shift and continue to pollinate after dark. Join us after-hours in the SLA Barn for a brief presentation on moth identification\, life cycles\, and their importance in our ecosystems. Following the presentation\, we will head outside and use lights to attract moths on large sheets for easy viewing. These light traps are an excellent way to safely observe the vast diversity of moths and other nighttime insects up close. Have your camera ready!It’s important to keep in mind that light traps will be the most successful on dry\, non-windy nights; therefore\, our moth catch rate can vary depending on the conditions. Feel free to stay the entire duration\, or head to bed early as we observe insects throughout the night. Hot chocolate\, tea\, and other sweets will be provided!This program is for all ages.

Keep an eye out for more Adventure Ecology programs on our events calendar! Why do moths get a bad rap? While most other pollinators tuck in for the night\, moths emerge for the night shift and continue to pollinate after dark. Join us after-hours in the SLA Barn for a brief presentation on moth identification\, life cycles\, and their importance in our ecosystems.

These light traps are an excellent way to safely observe the vast diversity of moths and other nighttime insects up close. Have your camera ready!It’s important to keep in mind that light traps will be the most successful on dry\, non-windy nights; therefore\, our moth catch rate can vary depending on the conditions.
