Index of Subjects I would love to take part in a Moth Walk. When I was at the museum Barry Wright would take a group out, usually to one of the local parks. The kids would paint the trees with a "fruit whatever" mixture. The we would meet at a lantern, sheet set-up and identify the moths that were attracted to the light. The we returned with flashlights alone the tree walk to see what the mixture on the trees had attracted. Magical!!
