Celebrate National Moth Week by observing the diverse insects found right here at Dinosaur Valley!
National Moth Week is July 20-28, what better way to celebrate than partying with Dinosaur Valley's insects! Dinosaur Valley is home to a diverse group of insects many of which are active at night! Stop by the Dinosaur Valley Amphitheater to examine our insect populations. Visitors are encouraged to take pictures of the bugs they see and contribute observations to iNaturalist. Stay the whole evening or stop by at different times. We will see more insect diversity the later it gets!
Time: 8:30-11PM. Come and go, more insects will be visible as it gets dark.
