Science on the Rocks: Glow Worms of the Highlands Plateau
📅 Wednesday, July 22, 2026 | 4:00 PM
📍 Weyman, Highlands Biological Station
Free and open to the public

Join Highlands Biological Station for an informal Science on the Rocks conversation with Heather Pratt about the fascinating glow worms of the Highlands Plateau.

These tiny bioluminescent insects bring a little nighttime magic to our forests, using their natural glow as part of their life cycle. Heather will share more about their biology, behavior, and ecology, including where they can be found, why they glow, and what these remarkable organisms can teach us about the hidden lives of insects after dark.

Come curious, bring your questions, and settle in for a relaxed evening of science and conversation at HBS. Attendees are encouraged to bring a beverage of choice.
