Friends of Sheri Capehard Nature Preserve: Looking for Yucca Moths - Arlington

May 12 2023 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Sheri Capehart Nature Preserve
5201 S. Bowman Springs Rd
Arlington , TX

John and Grace Darling will lead us on a walk through SCNP with emphasis on finding blooming glen rose yuccas and active Yucca Moths, but we will look for any creature that happens by and hope we can name a few.

Male and female moths emerge from their cocoons in the spring, timed with the blossoming of the yucca plant. There is an extraordinary partnership between the yucca moth and the yucca plant. They are so interdependent that one cannot live without the other.

Wear STURDY shoes or boots, maybe bring BUG SPRAY and WATER, and especially a good FLASHLIGHT or headlamp with fresh batteries. The walk back will be in the dark, so a good light will be essential.
