About this Presentation:
For more than a decade, Natural Resources and local naturalists have spent many late nights in the nature preserves, parks, and greenways in and around Charlotte, NC as part of a coordinated effort to document the diversity of moth species that are found within Mecklenburg County. This presentation will provide an introduction into this amazing diversity, as well as the important roles these insects play in our natural environment. You’ll learn about some of the challenges to identification and the growing number of resources that make learning about these insects possible. From “Moth Nights” to National Moth Week events, an increasing number of people are getting interested in “mothing”. Now is your chance to discover what the fascination in these insects is all about and why it’s worth the effort to learn about them.
The presentation will be recorded for
members to view later in our Video Library.
