Jeanette Jaskula, President of Friends of the Sands, will share the joy of moths, from their stunning colors, patterns, and behaviors to their important role in our ecosystems as pollinators and members of the food web. Learn how to attract moths to your backyard with native plants. You can even contribute your moth sightings to the Great American Indiana Nature Lepidoptera Project (GAINLP). We will gather inside the Daugherty House for a presentation at 7:30 pm, then walk the preserve in search of local moth populations.
