MOTH TIME
Meet at McCollum Campground to see what moths we can see at Coopers Rock. Make sure to bring your camera or smartphone to snap a picture. Sometimes a photograph helps us compare the moth we got to see to a resource book to identify. There are over 800 species of moths in West Virginia. How many will we attract on July 23?
