INTRODUCTION TO BUTTERFLYING

Go on a field trip and learn how to identify butterflies and discuss life cycles, host plants, and behaviors. Children age 8 and up welcome. Mass Audubon’s Joppa Flats Education Center is offering a two hour program, Introduction To Butterflying, for children ages 8 to 16 on Tuesday, July 20th, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

After a short indoor introduction to some of the most common species of butterflies, we’ll search local fields, meadows, and gardens to see what we can find. We’ll talk about field identification, life cycles, host plants, and flight times while we learn to appreciate the delicate beauty of such wonderful creatures as American ladies, swallowtails, great spangled fritillaries, pearl crescents, monarchs, skippers, and more.
