Starting at 2 pm, Anthony Oliveira, a keeper from the Saint Louis Zoo's Insectarium, will show off moth specimens in the lobby and provide an introductory talk on moths and blacklighting.In the dense forests of the Eastern Himalayas, moths are whispering something to us. In the dark of night, two curious observers shine a light on this secret universe. Together, they are on an expedition to decode these nocturnal creatures in a remote ecological “hot spot” on the border of India and Bhutan. The result is a deeply immersive film that transports audiences to a rarely-seen place and urges us all to look more closely at the hidden interconnections of the natural world.
