2024 National Moth Week Events in the Greater Austin, TX Region
Looking for National Moth Week activities in the central Texas area during Jul 20-28? Please join Wendy Anderson (@wendelia), Jack Cochran (@jcochran706), and Curtis Eckerman (@cmeckerman) for the public events listed below.
Light and sheet stations will be operating at dark to attract nocturnal insects, including moths. While sunset is around 830 PM during the week, we recommend showing up before dark to explore the various sites and to locate the light stations. If you have your own battery-powered light station for attracting moths, we’ll help you find a place to set it up.
Bring your camera, camera flash, flashlight, headlamp, UV flashlight, chair, snacks, drinks - including plenty of water for good hydration in hot weather. Wear dark clothing so bugs will land on light sheets and not you!

I'll be there!
@reidhardin
I hope to join in on some of these events!
Moth Week already?!!! Maybe this year is the time I do more than blacklight in my backyard. Hope to attend at least one of these. I'm glad to see some organized events and I really appreciate the time Wendy, Jack and Curtis are putting in to make this event happen. Hope to meet some of the people behind the names that are helping me ID moths on my iNat page! Now we just need to weather to cooperate.
i'll try to make the first and/or second one but won't be available for the last two unfortunately.
Thanks for the reminder and thanks for organizing these! I have them on my calendar and will try to make it out to at least a couple.
Thank you for letting us know! I really enjoyed the last one I went to and I hope to make it to one of these. Thanks to everyone that helps put these together.
