# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Moth Night
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 20 Aug, 2026 at 08:30 pm – Thu, 20 Aug, 2026 at 11:00 pm (-02:30)
- **Event Description**: Join Nature NL for a fun and informative Moth Night at The Botanical Garden!

This event is free to attend and takes place entirely outside, so dress accordingly.

Discover the fascinating world of moths with biologists Sean McCann and Catherine Scott. We will set up a "moth sheet" with a mercury vapor lamp, which emits light that attracts moths. Watch as moths land on the sheet, allowing for close observation, photography, and identification. Other nocturnal insects, such as caddisflies, lacewings, and midges, will also be drawn to the light, providing a glimpse into the nighttime biodiversity of St. John's.
Recommendations:

Bring a mobile device with the iNaturalist app installed and
wear outerwear, as the event is entirely outdoors

If event is moved due to rain the alternate date is Thursday, August 27 at 8:30 pm.

* No dogs or other pets permitted*

We want to give a huge thank to the Memorial University Botanical Garden for generously helping us organize this event and allow use of their wonderful biodiverse space! We would also like to send a heartfelt thank our insect experts and support volunteers for making this event happen. Without our knowledgeable volunteers events like these would not exist.
