About This Event

Explore the night flying relatives of monarchs and other butterflies during an evening of mothing with MJV at our Prairie Oaks campus! We’ll explore the differences between moths and butterflies, learn various methods to attract and collect moths, and discover how to identify different groups of moths. Additionally, we'll learn about the important roles moths play in our ecosystem. We’ll also collect data through iNaturalist to help us understand more about the wildlife we share Prairie Oaks with! 

This program is family-friendly, though please note that it does take place after dark.
