Description: Spend the night enjoying the Perseid Meteor Shower and the amazing nocturnal wildlife of summer, including night-flying moths attracted by our black-light or mercury vapor lamps! Best meteor viewing should be 1-3 AM, but a naturalist will be on hand from sunset to sunrise the next morning. Whatever the weather, interact with moths and other nocturnal insects as you help sample and survey our on-site wildlife.
