What is blacklighting?

Black lighting is a process for attracting nocturnal insects for observation, collecting, or photography. A sheet is suspended so that it hangs down with the lower edge draping onto the ground. Fluorescent black lights or mercury vapor lights are then placed in front of the sheet. Night-flying insects are drawn in and land on the sheet or on the nearby ground.

Bring

Bring a lawn chair or a blanket, and a flashlight or headlamp to enjoy the show.

Alternative rain date will be Aug. 27.
