Have you ever wondered how a glow worm glows, or why a lightning bug lights, or if a firefly light is hot to the touch?

Learn the answers and more as you explore the fascinating world of brilliant bugs during the Firefly Fireworks program at Campton Forest Preserve. Lightning bugs and glow worms are not only beautiful when lit up, but also an important part of the prairie ecosystem. The walk will start at dusk, and you will see the nighttime magic begin as thousands of fireflies rise from the prairie.

The program will be 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday, July 9, at Campton Forest Preserve, 4N379 Town Hall Road, St. Charles. All ages are welcome. Registration fee is $2 per person. Call (630) 444-3190 or email programs@kaneforest.com to register.
