Most moths live their lives after dark — and most of their stories go untold.
🦋 Join us for a celebration of Moth Week to explore the secret lives of moths, from their stunning diversity and surprising behaviors to their roles as pollinators and indicators of environmental change!
🦋 See real specimens, ask questions, and discover why these nighttime insects matter. You’ll be enchanted by spectacular specimens of the moths you know and love, and be astonished to meet some surprising native pollinators that call Chicago home, too.
🦋 Learn about how you can take action to help native plants and pollinators, and take home a free Field Guide to help you identify the native plants and pollinators of Chicagoland.
