Art and moths meet at the Love Motel for Insects at Cornell Plantations’ F. R. Newman Arboretum beginning July 19.
Brandon Ballengee, an artist, scientist, and activist is asking the community to come together to help construct one of these unique hotels from 1-4pm on Sunday, July 19.
This exhibit will be on display in the Arboretum for part of National Moth Week (July 18-26, 2015). In addition to the Love Motel for Insects, Dr. Jason J. Dombroskie, collection manager for Cornell University’s Insect Collection & coordinator of the Insect Diagnostic Lab will offer two programs, during the day and at night to celebrate moths.
