SUMMARY:Nighttime Moth Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join Educator Toni on a nighttime walk in search of local moth species with a chance to see them up close!\n\n\nButterflies often steal the spotlight. Moths deserve attention\, too. \n  \nThese remarkable insects pollinate flowers and provide food for birds\, bats\, and other wildlife. Some species fly during the day. Many become active only after sunset. \n  \nHere’s what we will cover: \n-Describe biology and ecological importance of moths \n-Observe and practice ID of local moth species on-site at Duke Farms using a blacklight station \n-Practice community science by logging observations through iNaturalist \n  \nYou may never look at moths the same way again. \n  \nWe will be meeting first behind the Farm Barn Orientation Center before departing for our program! \nThis class involves traveling less than 1 mile on mixed (paved and unpaved) surfaces\, with participants moving for the entire duration. Most program routes can be adapted to accommodate mobility needs. \n  \n(Photo Credit: Snowberry Clearwing\, taken by Sara DiVito) \n\n\nProgram Guidelines\nDid you know members receive 10% off all programs?
