Mt. Pleasant Library – Main Level
If you are interested in learning what this iconic butterfly needs to survive and thrive, this presentation is for you!
The Monarch is one of the most recognized butterflies in the Lepidoptera species. It is also one of the most endangered. If you are interested in learning what this iconic butterfly needs to survive and thrive, this presentation is for you. If you just want to learn about the life cycle (metamorphosis) and see some up close, personal photos of monarchs, this presentation is for you too! This unique butterfly holds this “Monarch Mama’s” attention (some would say obsession) from late June to October as she collects monarch eggs to raise into butterflies. If nature cooperates there will be monarch caterpillars and butterflies to view.
