Discover insects from an entirely new perspective. At night, moth sheets become living galleries where extraordinary designs, colors, and adaptations emerge in the darkness. This presentation explores how these simple setups reveal the remarkable engineering of insect bodies—how they move, feed, hide, and survive. Nighttime observation offers a window into a hidden diversity rarely seen during the day, providing a fascinating glimpse into the extraordinary insect world that comes alive after dark.

On September 4th, Pelican Park Nature Programs is hosting an overnight Moth Marathon at Fontainebleau State Park, where Bill Wimley and other insect experts and enthusiasts will be on hand to introduce participants to moth sheets and to help identify the insects that visit the sheets.
