Urban Nature Walk Special Event: Moth Night at the Zoo!

[urbpan]

Instead of our usual type of event (go someplace, walk in one direction for a couple hours) the latest Urban Nature Walk meetup was a moth night. Instead of meeting at 10 a.m. on the last Sunday of the month we met at 10 p.m. and stayed up until 1 a.m

Thanks, fixed it!

If you ever do it again, take a blacklight as well as normal lights. I've only ever been able to catch megaloptera with one, and they are really cool. (except for the dobsonfly that tried to take off my thumb, but that's an isolated incident)

We used a black light and a mercury vapor light (two stations). It was unseasonably cool, which led to fewer creatures than we might have. It's also pretty late in the season here. Next year we're planning to do a night in June and one in July.
