ABOUT
THE EXHIBIT

Once the sun sets, a new world awakens. Butterflies and bees are replaced by fluttering insects seen only briefly, never for long or with enough light to be truly appreciated.

Lepidoptera: Night Magic shines a bright UV light on moths, subtly magnificent creatures who fill important roles in our ecosystems but areoften overlooked in favor of their showy butterfly cousins. Featuring works by Deborah Davis and Anthony Childs, this exhibition celebrates these unseen insects and their impact on our world.
