Ain’t no Party like a Moth Night Party with Sam Kieschnick, Urban Wildlife Biologist
Moth Night in McKinney
Here is the link to Register!
Date: Friday, May 8

Where: Erwin Park Hill Top Pavilion

McKinney, TX 75071
Step into the wild after dark!
Using special UV lights, we’ll attract and observe moths and other nighttime species as part of a Mothing BioBlitz, a snapshot of the biodiversity in McKinney. See moths and other nocturnal insects up close, learn how to use the iNaturalist app to record observations, and help us document species that call McKinney home! No experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity (and maybe some bug spray).
What is a BioBlitz?
It’s a fun, fast-paced way to discover and document the plants, animals, and insects living in our parks. Using the iNaturalist app, participants will help record observations that contribute to real scientific research. Let’s get outside, learn about local biodiversity, and celebrate the pollinators that keep McKinney blooming!
This is a come-and-go event.
