Moth Night with Seabrooke Leckie on May 10th

Friends of the East Brunswick Environmental Commission & National Moth Week are excited to host a Moth Night on Thursday, May 10th, beginning at 8pm.

Seabrooke Leckie is a freelance biologist and writer living in rural eastern Ontario.  She holds a B.Sc.H. in Zoology and has worked on field research contracts in many parts of the continent, from California to Quebec, British Columbia to Ohio.  She discovered moths quite by accident one summer while away on contract, and they’ve become her number one passion.  Ms. Leckie is the co-author of the new Peterson Field Guide to Moths of Northeastern North America.

Why moths? With more than 10,000 species in North America alone, moths offer endless options for study, education, photography, and fun. Moths can be found everywhere from inner cities and suburban backyards, to the most wild and remote places. The diversity of moths is simply astounding. Their colors and patterns range from bright and dazzling, to so cryptic that they define camouflage.

Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ is excited to discover NJ’s moths and hope that you can attend this event on Thursday.
