Explore the Nocturnal World of Fuller Farm

Join Maine Master Naturalist Christie Constantine for a special evening in celebration of National Moth Week, where we’ll explore the beauty, diversity, and ecological importance of moths. Using lights and white sheets, we’ll attract, observe, and photograph a wide variety of moths and other nighttime insects.

Along the way, participants will learn about the moth life cycle, the vital role Maine’s 4,000 moth species play in supporting songbirds, mammals, amphibians, and other insects, and their often overlooked work as “night-shift” pollinators, visiting even more plant species than daytime pollinators like bees. We’ll also discuss simple, meaningful actions to help reverse the declines facing moths and other insects.

This event is in celebration of National Moth Week, one of hundreds of programs taking place across all 50 states and more than 90 countries, contributing valuable observations that help scientists better understand and protect these remarkable insects.

SLT rarely cancels programs but occasionally we must, especially in bad weather. Please check our website before heading out to a program to ensure it is still being held.
