Moth Sugaring

Event Summary

Moth sugaring is the program at the Lake Meyer Nature Center Sunday evening, August 8.  The program will start at 9:00 PM (Note: this is an hour later than listed on the summer schedule).  We will be seeking some night-flying moths at baited trees alongside the nature trails after dark.  The bait, which is slathered on selected trees at dusk, consists of brown sugar, apple juice, real ripe bananas, molasses, and a few other aromatic goodies.  Besides moths, we might also be able to find a few interesting spider, beetles, crickets, and perhaps even a passing opossum on this half-mile hike that should take about thirty minutes. Bring a flashlight and your favorite bug repellent.
