Program Description LSTA Dig-In Grant Event Details Join us after dark for an evening of looking at moths outdoors! July is National Moth Month! Why moths? Moths are among the most diverse and successful organisms on earth. Scientists estimate there may be 500,000 moth species. Their colors and patterns are either dazzling or so cryptic that they define camouflage. Shapes and sizes span the gamut from as small as a pinhead to as large as an adult’s hand. Most moths are nocturnal, and need to be sought at night to be seen – others fly like butterflies during the day. Finding moths can be as simple as leaving a porch light on and checking it after dark.  Presented by Dave Small, President and Acting Director of the Athol Bird and Nature Club. For over twenty-eight years, Dave has been the charismatic leader of the Club. His skills as a naturalist, trip leader, and presenter are in demand throughout New England. Through Dave’s efforts, the Center is recognized as the place to hold meetings that relate to natural history and the environment. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services - Dig-In Grant. Registration is required for this event.  Please register here or by calling 978-249-9515. Free and open to the public. Rain date:  July 26.
