Join Educator Toni on a nighttime walk in search of local moth species with a chance to see them up close!

Butterflies often steal the spotlight. Moths deserve attention, too.

These remarkable insects pollinate flowers and provide food for birds, bats, and other wildlife. Some species fly during the day. Many become active only after sunset.

Join us for a nighttime walk and discover the amazing diversity of moths at Duke Farms. We’ll use a blacklight to attract moths for close observation. Learn how to identify different species and explore the important role they play in local ecosystems.

You may never look at moths the same way again.

We will be meeting first behind the Farm Barn Orientation Center before departing for our program!

This class involves traveling less than 1 mile on mixed (paved and unpaved) surfaces, with participants moving for the entire duration. Most program routes can be adapted to accommodate mobility needs.
