National Moth Week Event at Pinnacles National Park July 30th

Hey Everyone, it's National Moth Week and at Pinnacles National Park is holding a moth event on Saturday, July 30 from 8:30-10:00 p.m. Meet at the Pinnacles Campground Amphitheater. Lights will be set up in the area and we will walk from light to light to document moths and other insects attracted by the lights. Paul Johnson, Pinnacles Wildlife Biologist, will be on hand to identify moths and discuss their ecology.
Bring a headlamp/flashlight and appropriate footwear for walking off trail.
If you would like to help us document species, bring a camera/flash capable of macro photography, or an iNaturalist-equipped phone or tablet.
