Monarch Display 2009

The annual favorite is back! Our summer Monarch Butterfly Display is up and running with several monarch caterpillars, an egg or two and even a near completion chrysalis!

Swing by the Nature Center today and check out this fun display. Be sure to check back often, as the time from egg until adult butterfly is only 30 days of which only 18 are spent as a caterpillar. During those 18 days, each caterpillar increases its mass by 2,000 times!

We'll try to post a picture of our first monarch soon!
