National Moth Week - Insect Night Lighting
Advertisement
The University of Illinois Extension invites the public to a fascinating Insect Night Lighting program in celebration of National Moth Week. National Moth Week is an annual, global event that invites people of all ages and backgrounds to participate in the mothing hobby by sharing photos of moths they find for citizen science. Participants will learn about common moths found in Illinois, how to participate in the National Moth Week BioBlitz on the iNaturalist app, and engage in an insect night lighting activity. This special evening program will offer attendees an exciting opportunity to delve into the hidden world of these often-overlooked, nocturnal creatures.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a flashlight and wear insect repellent. This program is suitable for all ages and no prior experience is necessary.
