Learn about the “night shift” insects in this class about moths. The “butterflies of the night” are important pollinators and a food source for birds and bats. After the program we will go outside to see moths on a sheet attracted by a blacklight.

  • After the lecture, students will be driving to Grace Lutheran Church (131 W. Gettysburg Avenue, Oak Ridge) to observe the moths.
