Meadowlands Moth Night is this Monday, July 25, from 8:30 to 10 p.m. at DeKorte Park!

The free event starts with a talk by National Moth Week co-founder Dr. Elena Tartaglia on these spectacular yet misunderstood cousins of butterflies.

Then it’s out to the park where industrial-strength lamps and white sheets will be set up and sugar bait will be used to attract moths for easier viewing. The event is part of National Moth Week. For more information, including some astounding facts and figures, click here

Many thanks to Joe Koscielny who sent in a series of incredible photos from yesterday’s Mill Creek Marsh walk. They are truly breathtaking. Great way to start the day!
