Moths in Art + Culture

It’s not always about butterflies!

In celebration of National Moth Week, Entomologist Alexander N. Rudin presents Moths in Art and Culture. From the macabre Death's-head hawkmoth to the revered silkworm moth, from the legendary Mothman to the titanic Mothra, Rudin will take you on a journey through 6,000 years of moths' impact in culture.

This program, free and open to the public, includes a special Flamenco dance tribute to silkworms by Lisa Botalico featuring Spanish silk shawls.

See the art, hear the stories, experience the dance!
