- **Event Description**: Start date: Friday, July 10 2026.Schedule: Friday, 8:00 PM - 9:45 PMResource person: Ken Elkins, Sanctuary Director of EducationLocation: Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary | 8 Commerce Road, Newtown, CT, 06470Description:*For the safety and comfort for all, no pets are allowed.Remember the slow summer days of long ago…evening walks surrounded by a choir of crickets while fireflies emerged through the twilight stillness? There’s something magical and nostalgic about these little light bearers. But unfortunately, due to loss of habitat and increased light pollution, firefly populations are disappearing all over the world. That’s why the sanctuary is honored to be a certified firefly habitat.Join us at the sanctuary as we experience a beautiful evening under the stars enjoying the peace, LIGHT and tranquility of our nighttime friends while we learn how to protect them. Every July, a world arises from the sanctuary’s twilight, bringing forth some of the smallest insects often hidden from sight during the day. Together, we’ll watch the woodlands come alive with hundreds of twinkling firefly lights…a rare and truly magical experience you’ll never forget.Led by renowned entomologist, Dr. Rayda Krell, and Dr. Wagener, Professor of Biology at WESTCONN, we’ll use a few entomological “tricks” to get a closer look at just how many of these creatures are out at night. By the end of the evening, you will have seen over 30 insect species and thousands of individual insects. A midsummer night’s dream in the making!AND you won’t want to miss the sanctuary’s Discover Den for “ALL THAT GLOWS”!Notes: Registration limited to 80 participants (both children and adults must register). The rain date for this event is Saturday, July 11th.Register at https://app.amilia.com/store/en/cvhas/shop/activities/6840208
