Mothapalooza at Sunflower Farm
This outdoor nighttime celebration welcomes curious folks (ages 8 and up) to gather, appreciate, and observe moths in a biodiverse setting. From 8-10 PM, UV lights and simple moth-ing stations will be set up for visitors to view. At Sunflower Farm in Longmont, a variety of pollinator-friendly crops, fruit trees, and flowers are likely to attract a universe of moths. Acting as citizen scientists, attendees will be encouraged to document their findings and share their images with Scientific databases like iNaturalist and BAMONA. Moth-related activities will highlight the critical roles that they play in our ecosystems. Headlamps and flashlights are strongly encouraged along with costumes fit for a mothball!
