Adirondack Mountain Club's Moth Madness: An Educational Moth Lighting Program

Celebrate National Moth Week with ADK!

Join an ADK Naturalist for an educational evening moth program to celebrate National Moth Week at the Heart Lake Amphitheatre! We will begin with a presentation on the differences between moths and butterflies, the ecological importance of moths, and other fun facts. Then we will observe some of our local moths by using a light "trap" to humanely attract active moths and other insects. We will also have a small, preserved local moth collection for reference and a closer look. Participants are encouraged to add their photographic observations digitally to iNaturalist to engage in community science and add to local data on moths.

This program is suitable for all ages, but children must be supervised. In the event of rain, this program will be postponed to the following evening, June 27th.
