Explore the insects that fly at night that we can't see during the day in this family workshop run by entomologists at The Butterfly House.
At this one-of-a-kind experience, entomologists will set up black lights to attract night-flying insects from miles away. You'll have the opportunity to observe rarely seen nocturnal insects including large moths, beetles, walking sticks and other fascinating insects. Collecting kits, including a good-quality net, collecting jar and an indentification guide to Missouri butterflies and moths will be available for purchase for $30. This workshop also includes ice cream and drinks. Wear comfortable walking shoes and dark-colored clothing. One adult per child please. Cost is $40 per child for members of the Missouri Botanical Garden and $50 per child for non-members.
July 16, 8:30 to 11 p.m.
For families with children ages 6 and older. Registration is required.
