Info:

Most Americans are familiar with and love the North American Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) that brave butterfly that migrates thousands of miles from Canada to its wintering grounds in Mexico.

Come learn about the life cycles of Monarchs, their natural history and migration from Director of Education Adriane Grimaldi. Learn how they know just when to migrate and be amazed at all the obstacles they go through just to become a butterfly. We will discuss some of the tough challenges they face and how you can help them.

Find out how to become a Citizen Scientist and about an upcoming opportunity to learn how to tag Monarch butterflies in Arizona thru a Butterfly Wonderland field trip to Southern Arizona Sept. 14.

The class also includes tips on how to build a Milkweed Garden for Monarchs.

Butterfly Wonderland's Director of Education Adriane Grimaldi will lead this workshop. She has built her own butterfly garden that has attracted 31 different species of butterflies. Her backyard garden is listed as a National Wildlife Habitat by National Wildlife Federation. She is a butterfly photographer and has participated on butterfly safaris to Central Mexico to see the overwintering Monarchs.
