What's On in Holland

Celebrate Blue Week at Irwin State Nature Preserve by learning more about the moths that call our region home - followed by mothing! Though seldom seen due to their nocturnal nature, moths are every bit as beautiful and charismatic as their butterfly cousins. Their role as pollinators is essential to the survival of many of our plants, especially orchids. Most importantly, moths and their caterpillars are food for birds, bats, and countless other animals. We will take a photographic journey into the mysterious world of moths, exploring which of our native plants are most enticing to these lovely Lepidopterans, followed by a mothing opportunity!
