Butterflies and moths are one of the insect species we are most used to seeing, but their small bodies hold incredible survival adaptations and behavior that might not be apparent to the naked eye.

In this VIRTUAL presentation, we hope you will learn something new and amazing about the family of butterflies and moths we call Lepidoptera.

We will start off with the popular monarch butterfly, discuss some physical structures of Lepidoptera, look at recent scientific studies, and discover species from far off places with behavior that not many know about.

Topics will include butterflies that drink blood, caterpillars raised by ants, memory retention through metamorphosis, moths that block bats' radar, and so much more!

This presentation will take place over Zoom beginning at 7pm. After the talk, we have time set aside for audience engagement and a Q&A. The Zoom link will be sent to you in a reminder email as the program date approaches.

An in-person version of this program will take place at the Horn Farm Center on Wednesday, August 28th from 6:45 to 8:15pm. In this program, the presentation will be followed by a tour of pollinator-friendly spaces at the Horn Farm Center and a moth-sheet lighting. Click here to learn more.
