Exclusively on the Long Day of CityNature, the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin and the ORION Berlin Entomological Society are offering an unusual guided tour through the nocturnal hustle and bustle of the Tiergarten.
Using special lamps, we lure swarming moths onto a white sheet for a short time. Numerous exciting species, which you are unlikely to see on a daytime walk, reveal their diversity and reveal their identity with the identification literature provided. State-of-the-art acoustic detectors are also used to observe and identify bats on the hunt. Here you can marvel at this urban habitat with the eyes of a researcher. The hands-on activities are accompanied by interesting facts about biodiversity exploration and the ecology of animals.
The event gives participants a special experience that can be enjoyed at the end of the Long Day.
The excursion is part of the project Understanding Diversity ("Vielfalt verstehen").
