Learn how to find and raise a variety of caterpillars in this hands-on workshop. Many caterpillars, including Monarchs and silk moths, can use extra help to restore their populations. Discover how you can help in this program.
Caterpillars can be very fussy eaters and may only eat one kind of food. Learn how to identify and find the proper food for different caterpillars, what containers to use and how to overwinter cocoons for insects that don’t emerge until the following year.
This program will be presented by Jeff Tome, who has been raising Monarch caterpillars for years, but has recently branched out to raise a variety of other caterpillars and moths.
