National Moth Week is being held\, worldwide\, during the last full week of July. \nNMW offers everyone\, everywhere a unique opportunity to become a Citizen Scientist and contribute scientific data about moths. Through partnerships with major online biological data depositories\, NMW participants can help map moth distribution and provide needed information on other life history aspects around the globe. \nJoin us at 7:00 to identify and count our native moths!\nPlease be sure and register so we know how many people to expect.\n (Arrive at 6:30 for a bog tour before our moth-venture.) \nWhy Moths?\nMoths are important pollinators for crops and flowers\, and serve as a food source for birds\, bats\, and other animals. \nMoths are among the most diverse and successful organisms on earth. \nScientists estimate that there are 150\,000\, and possibly more than 500\,000 moth species globally. \nTheir colors and patterns may be dazzling\, or plain\, or cryptically camouflaged. Shapes and sizes range from small as a pinhead (micro-moths) to as large as an adult hand (macro moths). \nWhy So Late?\nMost moths are nocturnal\, they fly at night\, so we look for them at night to see them. But some fly during the day as well. We’ll be using special lights and a bait station to attract them for our observations.\nLearn more at NationalMothWeek.org \n\nTo pay for Moth Night in advance please go to this link and pay what you can for the event.  Payment will be accepted the day of the event by SHADOW staff via check or online payment at the preserve.\n\n\n Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.\nNo Fields Found.
