Join Friends of the East Brunswick Environmental Commission tonight, July 30th for their second Moth Night of 2010. You should expect to see many different moths than on their first moth night (held in June) because moth species cycle throughout the season. This event starts at 8:30 PM and will run until midnight as the mix of these beautiful woodland flyers may change over the hours.
There will be special lights in the woods set up at Dallenbach Lake, behind the (small) Nature Center building. They will also be 'painting' some trees along a woodland path with a special sweet and aromatic concoction to attract even more moths for everyone to see.

Bring a camera with
a macro mode if you wish to photograph moths. Also remember that in
attracting moths, little biting insects may follow along, so you may
want some insect repellent. Comfortable temperatures should enable you to wear long pants and socks
so as to keep that portion of your body covered from possible bites. For questions or more details, email Richard Wolfert at rwolfert@comcast.net.
