If you would like to see some of our past events, we generally include a summary of the previous month’s events in our newsletter. You can find issues at our newsletter page – and you can subscribe for free.
Looking for Yucca Moths
May 10 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
John and Grace Darling will lead us on a walk through SCNP with emphasis on finding blooming glen rose yuccas and active Yucca Moths, but we will look for any creature that happens by and hope we can name a few.
Male and female moths emerge from their cocoons in the spring, timed with the blossoming of the yucca plant. There is an extraordinary partnership between the yucca moth and the yucca plant. They are so interdependent that one cannot live without the other.
Wear STURDY shoes or boots, maybe bring BUG SPRAY and WATER, and especially a good FLASHLIGHT or headlamp with fresh batteries. The walk back will be in the dark, so a good light will be essential.
