The Cambridge Entomological Club and the Vermont Entomological Society are coming to the Hogback Mountain Conservation Area to spend a day and a night looking for insects, roaming through the woods, meadows, and marshes around the former ski area looking for six- or eight-legged flying, creeping , crawling, spinning, hopping, or chirping creatures to identify. This is definitely a family-friendly event. Bring your bug enthusiast to meet with the experts! We'll have two sessions, one from 1:00-4:00 to find and identify daytime insects, and another from 8:00-10:00 pm to attract and identify moths and other nighttime insects. How many different species can we find? Meet in the field behind the white distillery building on the south side of Route 9 just west of the gift shop. This is a free event open to the public. Got buggy questions? Contact Scott Smyers at smyers@oxbowassociates.com. Other questions, contact Hogback Mountain Conservation Association at hmca@hogbackvt.org.
