We live surrounded by a world shaped by insects and few are more charismatic than the caterpillar (or their moth and butterfly forms). They influence the flowers we enjoy, foods we eat, and birds we celebrate, filling every ecological niche imaginable!
Grow Native Massachusetts will hold a Backyard Caterpillars in Your Autumn Landscape Interactive Program on September 8th from 6 to 7 pm
This interactive presentation features a few local, wild fall caterpillars which will help us tell the story of these animals in our forests and gardens. Educators from The Caterpillar Lab will share how we can manage our spaces through the fall and winter to promote more insect diversity and offer some tips and tricks for measuring our success in the spring. Attend this fall talk to learn how to promote more caterpillars, and then extend your experience by joining us next spring for a special Grow Native Massachusetts event (check back for details) to discover how to see the adult moths in their nighttime habitats!
