Nighttime Moth Walk

Moths are appreciated less often than their butterfly relatives, but they are still important to their ecosystems as pollinators and food to other wildlife. Some moths can be seen during the day, but some are more elusive and only active under the cover of night... In turn, this nighttime walk will teach about the local diversity of moth species that can be seen at Duke Farms. We will even be using a blacklight to potentially attract some moths for close, easy observation and identification!
We will be meeting first behind the Farm Barn Orientation Center before departing for our program!
This class involves traveling less than 1 mile on mixed (paved and unpaved) surfaces, with participants moving for the entire duration. Most program routes can be adapted to accommodate mobility needs.
