Description
Summer is here and so are the fireflies! Fireflies flash is to attract mates. Each species of fireflies has its own pattern of flashing, which helps them find a mate of their own species. Some think that fireflies may also flash in order to warn predators away.
At Firefly Nights, you'll learn more fascinating facts about their life cycle and how to protect these amazing insects! We'll take a summer evening hike on the trails at Coogan Farm while looking for these illuminating creatures in the woods and meadows. Please bring a flashlight, but be prepared to leave it off for most of the hike. Heavy rain cancels the event.
