Event Details
Runs June 16-September 2 (CLOSED FRIDAYS)
Butterflies are returning to the Nature Center. When you step into our greenhouse, in addition to colorful and fragrant flowering plants, you’ll be greeted by native butterflies. Flying freely among the greenery, you’ll see Monarchs, Painted Ladies and Swallowtails fluttering from blossom to blossom in search of nourishing nectar. You may even observe them resting in a shady spot to cool off or see them sipping water from a puddle.
While enjoying the beauty of these delicate creatures, you’ll have an opportunity to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly, from egg and caterpillar stages, to chrysalis and butterfly. You’ll also discover the unique relationship between specific plants and butterflies.
Exhibit appropriate for all ages. FREE with Museum admission. Sponsored in part by Central Animal Hospital, Geraldine Stutz Trust, Inc., ShopRite, WFAS, Whole Foods Market and Westchester County Parks.
