Learn about the remarkable butterflies and moths that inhabit our area!

Flittery, fluttery butterflies and moths are a source of constant fascination and admiration – who doesn’t love to watch them visiting summertime flowers, or marvel at the monumental journeys of the monarchs? Join us on Tuesday, September 16 from 6:30 to 7:30 PM for a presentation by Julie Hart, Director of Education at the Dutchess Land Conservancy and volunteer lepidopterist Matthew Rymkiewicz. We will explore the lives of butterflies and their unsung-hero cousins, the moths. From the huge and vibrant swallowtails and luna moths to the small and often overlooked skippers and sallows, you will come away with a new appreciation for these incredibly diverse and important insects!
