Magical Moth Night

Event overview

Magical Moth Night

Join us on July 27 as we celebrate National Moth Week at Magical Moth Night! Equipped with gentle light features to attract them, we’ll explore the hidden beauty of moths and other nocturnal creatures. This unique event offers an unforgettable look at nature’s most captivating night-time creatures. See the night as you’ve never seen it before!

Bonus offer: The first 30 participants to sign up for Magical Moth Night (including those already registered) will receive a free copy of “A Gift of Wings.” In this book, best-selling author C.W. Gusewelle treats us to a wonderful story about a Cecropia silkmoth that found a home inside the author’s screen door. A captivating year-long journey from egg to adult. Stunning color photographs by Dr. Charles Porter accompany Gusewelle’s illuminating story-telling. A delightful and instructive read for the entire family!
