Bear witness to Nature’s most illuminating spectacle! In June the greatest show on earth is performing in Eastern America’s unmowed fields, woodland edges, and canopied waterways. June is the peak of a dizzying diversity of fireflies that pursue their brief but dramatic lives beyond most people’s notice. By day we will learn about the natural history of fireflies and their identification, and by night we will seek out their most mesmerizing showcases. This weekend workshop will provide you with an opportunity to see some of the most stunning firefly showcases in the tri-state region - including Chinese Lanterns, Little Grays, and Treetop Flashers. You will learn and identify multiples of fireflies during this event which is timed to behold their peak displays.
