Long-time Lep Club members Phyllis Kepner and Dee McGuire will share their experiences with raising moths and butterflies. Dee says:
“We hope to generate welcoming responses and questions from participants. It is not necessary to be a Lepidoptera expert.”
“The emphasis is learning and sharing in an atmosphere with those who have had practical and successful results with moths and butterflies and with those who are learning. We hope to stimulate interest now and for future raising of butterflies and moths thru the NHSM’s Lepidoptera Club.”
The presentation will include visuals, triptych boards showing aspects of butterflies and moths, samples of cocoons, chrysalis, information about habitat choices, book recommendations, and some hand outs.
Attendees are asked to please bring caterpillars (butterflies or moths) to share — also name the host plant for each.
