  Bugs at Night   

Bugs at Night

  • Location: ISM Dickson Mounds Museum, Lewistown
  • Date: Saturday, August 08, 2015, 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM

Dickson Mounds Museum is hosting a Bugs Night on Saturday, August 8, 2015 at 8:00 pm. Bug enthusiast Jim Wiker will demonstrate how to attract an array of bugs at night and teach participants how to identify them.

Jim Wike’s fascination with insects started as a 4-year-old and a collection he entered in the county fair a few years later. Forty-plus years later, this passionate, self-taught, well-published entomologist received international recognition from The North American Pollinator Protection Campaign and The Pollinator Partnership for what has become much more than a hobby.

Participants should dress appropriately for this outdoor activity. This program is free and registration is not required.

The Illinois State Museum - Dickson Mounds is located between Lewistown and Havana off Illinois Routes 78 and 97. The museum is open free to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. every day. Tours and special programs are available for groups with reservations. For more information call 309.547.3721 or TTY 217.782.9175 or visit the www.experienceDicksonMounds.com.
