Third Saturday Walks


Butterflies

Pat Brown will introduce you to several native plants and talk about the butterflies that sip their nectar and the caterpillars that eat their leaves. Pat has photos of butterflies in all stages of development, from eggs to mature butterflies. She will lead you to hangouts of variable checkerspot, Morro blue, swallowtail, hairstreak, and other butterflies that make the Elfin Forest their home. She will also share information about butterfly books, web sites, and butterfly-related materials. She recommends that you bring a pair of close-focusing (5-10 ft.) binoculars
