Speaking of moths, mark you calendar for the NJSEA’s annual Moth Night at DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst. This year’s event is on Monday, July 25, from 8:30 to 10 pm. The evening includes a talk by Dr. Elena Tartaglia on these spectacular yet misunderstood cousins of butterflies. Industrial-strength lamps and white sheets will be set up in DeKorte Park and sugar bait will be used to attract moths for easier viewing. Register for the free event here.
