Insects of the Night
Fri, October 24, 2025
It's a whole different world at night, let's discover some new insects!
As humans, we often think of the world through the lens of daylight. But did you know that up to 60% of insects are nocturnal? We're going to explore the adaptations of these nocturnal insects through different activities. We'll end the night exploring the insects we hope to attract.
