Creatures of the Night: Moths!

  • 2809 Kelly Lane Kodak, TN, 37764 United States (map)

Meet at: Bluebird Barn

Price: $8

*Pre-registration is required for this event.*

There are over 12,000 species of moths in North America. In honor of of National Moth week, we will be searching for and identifying these nocturnal pollinators at Seven Islands State Park. Participants of all ages are welcome at this event, but you must be ready to stay up late! We will be setting up special lights near the Bluebird Barn and using a bait on nearby trees to attract moths. While we are waiting for the moths to visit, Ranger Clare will share interesting facts and fun stories about moths and other nocturnal creatures. 

We will have to walk short distances to search for moths, but there will be minimal hiking during this event. You are welcome to bring snacks, chairs, and flashlights.
