Educational Cache Info:

Moths are the nighttime version of butterflies. When it gets dark look for these colorful bugs pollinating flowers and flying around lights. Moths come in all sizes and colors. They can be tiny and gray to  blend in with tee bark, pink and yellow or bright green and 3 inches long like the Luna Moth. Visit Darby Creek this summer to attend a late night moth program.
