This Saturday, Aug. 16, from 10-11:30 a.m., children ages five to 10 are invited to attend Refuge Rocks for Kids at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). This month’s program will focus on moths.
Have you ever spotted moths throwing a wild dance party around the lights at night? What exactly are these fuzzy party crashers, and how do they compare to their glamorous butterfly cousins? Buckle up, because this lesson is about to take you on a moth-tastic journey!
Attendees will dive into the nitty-gritty of moth life cycles with their four fabulous stages (egg, caterpillar, pupa and the dazzling adult moth). Uncover their quirky traits, like those funky antennae and wing patterns. Explore the stars of the moth world and reveal how they navigate the night using their super sniffer.
The event will also include some fun moth-themed crafts, live moth spotting and lively chats about their amazing adaptations. Let the moth mayhem begin!
