Did you know some moths don’t have mouths?

How weird is that?

Well, that is just one of the fun facts you may learn this Thursday, July 31st at Vermont Square Park when Freeman Real Estate Brokerage hosts its Mystery Moth Night in the Park. The event begins at 7 p.m. and is facilitated by Seaton Village resident David Beadle, who also happens to be an internation…ally renowned authority on moths.

David’s wealth of knowledge on the subject of moths always makes for a fun and informative evening of entertainment for all ages. David will be capturing moths in the park that night for identification.

It’s believed that the world of moths is an abundant one with as many as 160,000 species, some of which have yet to be described. As for that mouth-less moth, known as the Luna, it lives for about one week after coming out of its cocoon. Its sole purpose is to mate and lay eggs.
Apparently, many Africans eat moth and butterfly caterpillars. In their pre-winged state, they are loaded with protein and healthy fats and also rich in potassium, calcium, zinc and iron.

The free event is just one of the ways Freeman Real Estate enjoys serving the community in which it serves. A fixture in Seaton Village for over 40 years, the family-run realtor believes in supporting community events and causes and nurturing many charities and local non-profits. Moth Night is just one of several free, community-based events Freeman has and will be sponsoring.

So grab a flashlight and a lawn chair. Bring the kids and their grandparents. The Mystery Moth Night in the Park will fly by before you know it.
