This summer, the Land Conservancy of West Michigan and Querkus Creative are taking insect appreciation on the road with an event series called "Moths on Tour!" 

"Moths on Tour" features a technique called "light sheeting" to attract moths, beetles, flies, and more for attendees to observe and appreciate the insects. 

There are three after-dark events this summer in Kent, Muskegon, and Newaygo County.

Learn more about "Moths on Tour" at naturenearby dot org slash events.
