Moths and More Evening Field Trip

At nearly 900 species documented in the greater Sax-Zim Bog, moths are the most species-rich group documented so far! Even though they are one of the most diverse groups of insects in our region, moths often don’t get the same attention as their day-flying relatives: butterflies. Moths are worthy of special attention and often exceed their cousins in interesting color, pattern, behavior, and their specialized relationships to plants. This field trip will serve as a good introduction to the moth diversity in northeastern Minnesota. Attendees may also have the opportunity to enjoy listening for night-singing insects, birds, mammals, and more! Because this field trip is at night, plan on bringing a head-lamp or flashlight. This field trip can also be fairly stationary, so feel free to bring a folding chair.
