Meeting Room A + B + Meeting Room C

Many of us have fond memories of catching fireflies on a summer evening. Researcher Ariel Firebaugh shares fascinating facts about these insects. Try to catch and observe some after the talk.

Firebaugh, firefly researcher and director of scientific engagement at UVA’s Blandy Experimental Farm, discusses why fireflies flash, what they eat and whether or not they are disappearing in this lively, family-friendly nature talk. This program is a collaboration with Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy.
