About this Event
Wayne Cave Preserve, Monroe County
Saturday, May 3, 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM EDT
Join us at Wayne Cave Preserve for a fascinating evening with moth experts Steve Morris, Jim Vargo, and Jeanette Jaskula. The evening starts with a presentation about the joy of moths, from their stunning colors, patterns, and behaviors to their important role in our ecosystems. We will get to see first-hand the techniques these three used last summer to attract and identify over 210 species, including 6 species new to Indiana! As darkness falls, moths will be attracted to lights for viewing and we’ll walk a bait trail to look for moths attracted to a mixture of beer, brown sugar, and over-ripe bananas spread on tree trunks. Registration opens April 4, but you may have a reminder sent to you from Eventbrite.
Registered participants will get more details about the event. We will ask that you bring a chair, a headlamp and have sturdy shoes for walking the trail after dark.
