Why do moths get a bad rap? While most other pollinators tuck in for the evening, moths emerge for the night shift and continue to pollinate after dark. Butterflies and moths, from order Lepidoptera, are one of the largest insect groups on the planet. There are over 160,000 recorded species of moths in the world, with 11,000 species living in the United States. Join us after hours at the Squam Lakes Association Barn on Friday, Aug. 14 from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. for a brief introduction on moth identification, life cycles, and their importance in our ecosystems. Following the presentation, we will head outside and use lights to attract moths for easy viewing.
