Name that Butterfly: Identifying by Markings and Behavior

May 17 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

The Williamsburg area is home to more than 90 species of butterflies, and in recent years, local experts have found species not previously recorded. Eleven families of butterflies come in a variety of sizes and shapes. This presentation by Adrienne Frank will help you distinguish physical characteristics and behavior such as flight patterns, life cycle, and use of nectar and host plants.

Member Priority Registration: Garden Members will receive an email no later than May 3rd with the link for Priority Registration. Registration opens to the public at 9 am on Saturday, May 10. Click here to learn about membership and its perks.
