The Dazzling World of Caterpillars

August 30 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm MST



@


$30 Non-Member / $24 Member

Every butterfly and moth that you see was once a caterpillar.  This stage of a butterfly or moth’s life cycle often lasts far longer than the adult stage.  Caterpillars are extraordinary creatures, masters of camouflage, strikingly beautiful, and oddly shaped.  This class explores the world of caterpillars, including techniques that you can use to find them.
