Moth Encounters
July 24, 10 p.m. to midnight
Entomologists estimate that moths outnumber butterflies 14 to 1 in species richness. Translated to real numbers, there are only around 760 butterflies species compared to the roughly 10,500 moth species in North America. Of these 10,500, around 3,000 moth species are known to occur in the state of Ohio. Join us for a night of mothing at the MTSO campus.
Learn about the differences between moths and butterflies, their fascinating lifecycles, and their importance to local ecology. Participants will be taught the basics of moth identification and will get a chance to observe wild moths at blacklight stations set up throughout campus. Facilitated by Adam Willis, AmeriCorps Conservation Specialist at MTSO.
