As part of the city-nature citizen science challenge, we will be documenting some of the critters that live at Mockingbird Nature Park. Learn how to use the citizen science tool and app, iNaturalist. We will also have special moth lights set up to attract, photograph, and identify the moths in this park.

Stay only as long as you would like and dress according to the weather. Bring a flashlight to use on the trail and a camera or smart phone to document what we find.

As usual, if it's raining the event will be canceled. But we're hoping for great weather!!

Comparing Moth Nights at Mockingbird Nature Park

These new collection and umbrella projects are pretty interesting, and I've been trying them out with some of our Indian Trail projects. With our Moth Night coming up on April 27 at Mockingbird Nature Park in Midlothian, I've set up projects for all our moth nights at Mockingbird and grouped them in an umbrella project:

It will be interesting to compare the observations!
