“I have a little brown cocoon of an idea that may possibly expand into a magnificent moth of fulfilment.”
Our “little brown cocoon of an idea” is to have an evening where we celebrate creatures that come out at night. Please join us for an evening of merriment, moth gazing, and a little bit of bubbly!
We will begin with dinner at 6:30 pm. Dinner will be followed by a slide show featuring moths from years past. Then, as the sun sets, we will move outdoors to the site where we will have set up white sheets and special lamps to attract the moths. With luck, we will attract a wide variety of moths as the evening unfolds. And even better, Hilbert Buist will help us photograph and identify them!
