8:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Instructor: Zach DuFran
Enter the world of moths! During the first part of the class, Zach will give an introduction to moths. Learn about what a moth is and how moths are different from butterflies, their lifecycle, their functions and importance in an ecosystem, the many niches that moths fill, their broad diversity, and moth conservation.
After-dark will be moth-viewing time! By hanging a white sheet and shining a light directly on it, we’ll attract moths and give them a place to land. Zach will lead the group in observing and identifying the moths and other nocturnal insects that come to visit.
Instructor: Zach DuFran is a naturalist living in central Oklahoma. He is a software engineer for the National Weather Service by day and enjoys spending as much time outdoors as possible. Zach is crazy about moths and has been working to expand knowledge of moth species and distributions in the state of Oklahoma. During the warm season he hosts public “Moth Nights” near his home and around the state. He also enjoys birding and tending to his native pollinator garden. He loves traveling to state parks with his wife and two kids on weekends and much father abroad during extended vacations.
