UV Night Walk: Through The Eyes Of An Insect

  • Firestone Copse Havenstreet and Ashey, PO33 4DL United Kingdom (map)

For the first time ever, the Isle of Wight will host a UV night walk. Explore, connect and wander with insects.

In many species, the UV light causes a natural glowing reaction called ‘biofluorescence’. Insects can see the ultraviolet spectrum, so for one night only get a glimpse into their alternate reality. This educational experience lets you explore something few people have ever seen - you may even discover something new!

Part of the ‘Through the Eyes of Insects’ project, which aims to help communities establish valued connections to the natural world. Offering a new perspective on often disregarded, even feared, members of the animal kingdom.

FREE.

Suitable for all ages.
