Moths are incredibly diverse and beautiful! With nearly 3,000 species documented in NC, they come in an amazing array of colors, shapes, and sizes, and also play a vital role in the ecosystem. Please join David George, science educator and co-author of the Moths of North Carolina website, for a late-night program at Durant Nature Preserve. Many different kinds of moths, as well as a range of other interesting night-flying insects, are sure to show up at the lights - and hopefully so will you!
