Entomology - Lab/Conservation - Butterfly Blizzard
Activity Instructions
Participants will get to choose how many butterflies they release. Each butterfly will be in their own container. Participants will learn a little about each of their butterflies and how to release them. Participants will get a certificate with their names and the species they released on it. A butterfly-related craft will be available that participants can also participate in if they choose to.
If you wish to work in the wing during a scheduled Butterfly Blizzard (and are qualified to do so), sign up on the correct date for the 8:30-10:00 shift.
