Did you know that there is a National Moth Week?  This year, it will be from July 20-28.  If you have done a summer JAM here in the past, you know that we tend to spend a lot of time outdoors in our wetlands.  In doing so, we observe many different types of insects.  Butterflies are some of the most recognizable insects out there, but did you know that there are far more species of moths than there are of butterflies?

We often don’t notice moths much for two reasons: they aren’t usually very colorful and most are active at night.  In this JAM, we will take a close look at moths (as well as butterflies) through outside observations and a pollination experiment.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • We require a 24 hour cancellation notice for Little Explorers Club and JAM Sessions reservations via emailing info@visitthemap.org. Please include the name on the reservation, number of students, date and time of the class.

  • Please help create an outstanding learning environment by limiting disruptions in the classroom! 

  • Parents are, of course, always welcome to remain in class but should a parent choose to step out, we have provided a seating area just outside the classrooms. Parents and siblings are also welcome to explore our Discovery Room or the rest of the Museum until the class concludes.
