Tuesday, June 24 • 7:30 – 8:45 pm  
with Stephanie Bruneau, Assistant Director of Adult Education, Morris Arboretum & Gardens
 
Members: $25 • Non-members: $30 

Did you know that fireflies are not flies, but are actually beetles? Or that our planet is home to over 2,200 firefly species, and that over 30 species can be found in PA? Or that “glow worms” are actually firefly larvae, and can be found lighting up the soil all around us at night if we only know where and how to look? Come join bug enthusiast and Morris staff member Stephanie Bruneau for an all-ages program all about fireflies. We will explore the natural history of fireflies, ways of observing and telling them apart, and what we can do to make our gardens more “glowing.” The program will conclude with a short night walk in the gardens where we will look for these magical bugs and see their light-flash conversations in person. One registration covers one adult and one child.  Children must be accompanied by an adult.  Additional adults will require additional registration.
