Bug Blacklighting Event

  • Wesselman Woods 551 North Boeke Road Evansville, IN, 47711 United States (map)

Black lights (or ultraviolet lights) are a handy tool that entomologists use to study nocturnal insects. This attracts many moths and beetles because insects can actually see UV light.

Join Debbie Goedde at Wesselman Woods for an evening of insect hunting via blacklight!

Guests can meet at the set of gates near Odonata Pond or at the gated entrance to the Nature Center.

No supplies needed but flashlights and/or headlamps can be handy. Masks and social distancing are recommended.
