Explore the Nighttime World of Caterpillars & Moths

Step into the night and discover the beauty of moths and other nocturnal insects! Join The Caterpillar Lab for an in-person presentation at NEBG. This program will also be broadcast live online. 

The Caterpillar Lab will present a photograph and video packed talk exploring the nighttime world of caterpillars, moths, and how to find them. Learn how to explore backyard habitats through the eyes of a moth, using UV and special light traps to uncover a whole new perspective. This lecture includes time to meet a few caterpillar specimens up close and chat with Caterpillar Lab educators. In-person attendees will also get to try blacklight flashlights!

The Caterpillar Lab is a non-profit based in New Hampshire that fosters greater appreciation and care for the complexity and beauty of natural history through live caterpillar educational programs, research initiatives, and photography and film projects. They believe that increased awareness of one’s local environment is the foundation for healthy and responsible attitudes toward broader natural systems.
