About the Event
Geared for: This program is appropriate for all ages, but geared towards ages 10+.
Description: All butterflies go through metamorphosis, transforming from egg to caterpillar to pupa to adult. It takes monarch butterflies roughly one month and they produce four generations per year, with the last flighted adults migrating to Mexico. Join senior naturalist Stephen Lyn Bales for his series of photographs that document a single monarch from egg to winged adult and beyond. You'll also go outside to search the Ijams milkweed for caterpillars. This program leads up the Ijams Hummingbird Festival: A Celebration of Wings on Saturday, Aug. 13.
Materials Participants Should Bring: Comfortable shoes, weather appropriate clothing, and all your questions about Monarch butterflies.
Program Duration: 6-8 pm - 2+ hours of indoor and outdoor learning
Location: This program meets at the Ijams Nature Center Visitor Center.
