Online Meeting – Butterflies and Other Day Flying Moths
May 27, 2020 @ 7:15 pm - 9:00 pm
FREEEvent Navigation
Club member Colleen Wolpert will talk about how Butterflies are not only related to moths, they are moths. Prehistoric ancestors of moths were day fliers until too many
predators, such as birds, evolved to eat them. Flying at night as well as mimicking other creatures/things offered protection. Learn what they look like and which ones still fly during the day nectaring side by side with butterflies on flowers and bait. They cannot be found in your butterfly field guides.
Colleen Wolpert will explain moths vs. skippers vs. true butterflies while presenting some identification and life cycle information about all of the leps along the way.
As always, Naturalists’ Club member meetings are free and open to the public.
