Night Safaris September 18, 2008

Night Safaris let families explore with flashlights to look for the mysterious, green Luna moth. This night-flying behemoth is one of the largest species in North America with a five-inch wingspan. Alive for only one week with the sole purpose of reproducing, the Luna has no mouth and must live on the energy it stored as a caterpillar. Night Safari goers can also hunt for the Great Southern White and can see flocks of butterflies roosting in the rafters for the night. The entire building will be open to investigate as well.
