Friday Night Science - BUG LIGHT DISTRICT
Advertisement
When the sun goes down, the insects come out.
Join us for Bug Light District, a nighttime exploration of the insects that are active after dark. We'll begin with a short introduction to nocturnal insects, including common groups found in wetland ecosystems and the important roles they play in food webs and biodiversity.
Then we'll head outside to the WaterWorks wetlands, where blacklights will be used to attract insects. As insects arrive, participants will have the opportunity to observe them up close, compare different species, and learn to recognize key characteristics of groups such as moths, beetles, flies, and aquatic insects emerging from the water.
This program is designed to be hands-on and exploratory, with participants engaging directly with insects in their natural environment and applying what they've learned in real time.

Location: WaterWorks Environmental Learning Lab
