Come join Ranger Shaun to see what we can lure out of the dark with bright lights and the promise of fame and fortune at McDowell Mountain! We’ll bait out the bugs and do some catch and release identification, learn a little about insect and arachnid morphology and taxonomy, and hopefully do a little scorpion hunting with the UV lights before we call it a night!
Closed toed shoes and water bottles required. Blacklight and flashlight recommended but not required.
Please note: Summer programs may be canceled on short notice due to severe weather, including extreme heat events. The MC Parks website is the best resource for verifying the program’s current status, so please check the program listing prior to departing for your scheduled program.
