*** REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED *** At over 800 species, moths are the most species rich group documented in the greater Sax-Zim Bog! Even though they are one of the most diverse groups of insects in our region, moths don’t get the same attention as their day flying relatives: butterflies! Moths often surpass their cousins in color, pattern, behavior, and specialized relationships to plants. This field trip will serve as a good introduction to the moth diversity in northeastern Minnesota. We will also use some of our time waiting for moths to arrive by listening for night singing insects, birds, mammals, and more! Because this field trip is at night, and mostly stationary, plan on bringing a head lamp or flashlight and folding chair. Field Trip attendance is free for members (those who have donated $25 or more within the past year). If you are interested in membership, the $25 fee covers membership and free entry to any field trip or program in a 12-month period! Register for this event online at saxzim.org/events/
