Moth Night at Frisco’s Grand Park

Rick Travis, Class of 2018

Our Blackland Prairie Chapter “Moth Squad” will join Play Frisco for the City Nature Challenge “Mothing” at the Grand Park event in Frisco on April 26 from 7:30 -10:30 p.m. A Mothing BioBlitz uses UV lights to attract and record nocturnal insects. It’s a “species snapshot” for that location and date, utilizing the iNaturalist app.

This event will be outdoors, and we encourage participants to wear appropriate clothing and bring bug spray.

We encourage attendees to record observations in this free app during the event to contribute to the annual City Nature Challenge global event from April 25-28, 2025, where nature observations from around the world will be collected.

When: Saturday, April 26, 7:30pm – 10:30pm

Location:  Frisco Grand Park, North end of the park: South side of Cotton Gin Road, between Legacy Drive and North Dallas Parkway. 
Big Bluestem Trail at Grand Park, 5001 Cotton Gin Rd, Frisco, TX 75034, United States
