Indian Valley Preserve
Tuesday, June 7, 2022, 10am – 2pm

This preserve is a great spot to see a variety of butterflies: Blues, swallowtails, admirals, sisters, buckeyes, checkerspots, crescents, and many more. We’ll take the time to observe them as they go about their business of finding nectar, attracting mates, detecting the proper plants to lay eggs on, and engaging in a practice called “puddling”. If you’re not sure what “puddling” is, you’ll have to join us to see.

Remember to bring a lunch and binoculars if you have them. We request that no pets (except service animals) attend.
