Join Wil Hershberger, a local insect expert, for an evening insect walk at Cool Spring Preserve. Listen and learn about all the various insects we hear in the summer and early fall months!

Wil will lead an exploration along the CSP trails passing through meadow, woodland and marsh. Insects likely to be encountered include tree crickets, several species of meadow katydids, one or two species of round-winged katydids, northern true katydids, oblong-wing katydids, and perhaps some bush katydids. In 2017, this very walk found the first documented occurrence of Long-spurred Meadow Katydid in Jefferson Co., WV. Hopefully, we will see them again, and who knows what else may be found.

Those who wish to participate should bring a flashlight and be prepared (if you choose) to walk through high grass and weeds.The walk will not take place if it is raining.
