Moth Night at Cheyenne Mountain State Park
Event Info
About this Event
Join the Mile High Bug Club for Moth Night!
Lights will be used to attract moths, but beetles, scorpions, centipedes, solifugae, a variety of spiders, and more will also come to say hello!
Participants will have the opportunity to observe invertebrates up close and learn about their unique characteristics and behavior. This is a fantastic opportunity for up and coming entomologists to learn about these amazing creatures from the individuals that know them the best.
All ages are welcome!
This event will take place at the Prairie Falcon Amphitheater.
The program is free, but a valid parks pass is required for every vehicle that enters the park.
