Catching the light: marvel at the night owls up close on Saturday

Did you know that of the approximately 3,700 butterfly species native to Germany, only around 200 are diurnal butterflies? The vast majority are therefore nocturnal. The next public light trapping event on 01.06.2024 on the grounds of the forum natura nature experience center on Schottplatz will focus on these nocturnal butterflies. Together with experts, participants will be able to take a close look at moths, beetles and the like.
