It’s not always about butterflies!
In celebration of National Moth Week, Entomologist Alexander N. Rudin presents Moths in Art and Culture. From the macabre Death’s-head hawkmoth to the revered silkworm moth, from the legendary Mothman to the titanic Mothra, Rudin will take you on a journey through 6,000 years of moths’ impact in culture.
This program, free and open to the public, includes a special Flamenco dance tribute to silkworms by Lisa Botalico featuring Spanish silk shawls.
See the art, hear the stories, experience the dance!
Registration is not required, but helps organizers plan! Thank you for your interest in joining us.
Following our event at 8:30pm, an Evening Moth Survey with Friends of Princeton Open Space. The program will begin with an educational presentation about moths, followed by a hands-on activity logging biodiversity data at the Preserve. Participants will be able to view moths, help ID them, and log moth species data to build a biodiversity database for the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve. Learn more here.
