Join us for a special Mothy Meet & Greet with the NC Moth Project on Saturday, March 14 at 7:30 PM, for an evening designed to introduce you to the magic and mystery of moths and to share how you can take part in our Monthly Mothing program happening March through November.
This one-hour presentation will offer an entertaining introduction to moths, why they matter, and why scientists and community members survey them. We’ll explore how moth surveys are conducted, what equipment is used, and how everyday nature lovers can contribute valuable data to science. You’ll also learn more about the NC Moth Project itself and how it connects people across the state through citizen science.
Monthly Mothing nights provide ongoing, hands-on experience that builds real field skills over time. With regular participation, you’ll learn valuable identification skills, document a variety of nocturnal insects, and experience the seasonal changes and rhythms of moths, all while beginning your lifelong journey of becoming a moth’er!
And if the weather is suitably “mothy” after the presentation, we’ll step outside to set up a light sheet and see which late-winter moths come in to visit. It’s a relaxed, welcoming way to learn, connect, and maybe meet your first moth of the season!
