Moth Night
Date: Aug 28
8:30 pm
- 11:00 pm
Where: Fortis Courtyard & Amphitheater
Join Nature NL for a fun and informative Moth Night at The Rooms!
Discover the fascinating world of moths with biologists Sean McCann and Catherine Scott. We will set up a "moth sheet" with a mercury vapor lamp, which emits light that attracts moths. Watch as moths land on the sheet, allowing for close observation, photography, and identification. Other nocturnal insects, such as caddisflies, lacewings, and midges, will also be drawn to the light, providing a glimpse into the nighttime biodiversity of St. John's.
Recommendations:
- Bring a mobile device with the iNaturalist app installed
- Wear outerwear, as the event is entirely outdoors
This event is supported by Memorial University’s Office of Public Engagement in collaboration with Nature NL and The Rooms.
The alternate date is Wednesday, August 28 at 8:30 pm.
