Moth Event at River Ranch County Park near Liberty Hill; Fri, Aug 2
If you didn’t get enough mothing at your house or one of our previous public events during National Moth Week recently, consider coming to Williamson County’s newest park, River Ranch County Park, this Friday, Aug 2, where Wendy Anderson (@wendelia) and Jack Cochran (@jcochran706) will set up sheets in an oak-juniper habitat to attract nocturnal insects.
Arrive at the park before dark (sunset is around 830 PM), pay your entry fee (4 USD per person, senior 2 USD per person), and drive to Trailhead Parking West, which is signed along the road and is the largest parking lot in the park. If you bring a battery-powered moth rig, Wendy and I can help you find a place to set up.
The office, where you pay your entry fee, closes at 8 PM, but there is a fee night drop if you show up later. Definitely arrive before 9 PM, as that is when the entry gate closes. You can exit through an automatic gate when you’re ready to leave.
Bring your camera, camera flash, flashlight, headlamp, UV flashlight, chair, snacks, and drinks. Wear dark clothing so bugs will land on light sheets and not you!
A Facility Map and Trails Map are available at the website below. See you there!

I really want to participate but I am going to East Texas to photograph a rare orchid this weekend.

Fascinating evening at a new park! Incredible diversity of leafhoppers.
