Fascinating Fireflies

Watching fireflies is a special part of warm summer
nights. We watch, we enjoy, but do we really know what they are saying? Don
Salvatore of the Boston Museum of Science’s Firefly Watch Citizen Science
project will open the doors of discovery into the secret lives of fireflies.
You can also learn how to participate in a scientific research effort to find
out if these magical insects are disappearing from our landscape, and if so,
what can be done to save them. After the presentation we will be taking a
guided night walk to observe fireflies and their flashy behaviors. Wearing long
pants and bug spray is recommended. Preregistration required. Suitable for
adults and accompanied children ages 8 and up. MAS members $7, nonmembers $9.
