Late June means it’s officially summer, the perfect time to look for leps! Join NHSM Lep Club’s Brittany Roger for a tour of the native butterfly house at Irvine Nature Center, followed by a walk along INC’s Pollinator Trail and/or some time to wander on your own.
Irvine Nature Center is located at 11201 Garrison Forest Road, Owings Mills, MD 21117. We’ll start at 9:00 AM to beat the heat, and you can leave whenever you like. Please email the club coordinator (mfalk@marylandnature.org) with any questions.
If you love butterflies and moths, consider joining the NHSM Lep Club. Made up of novice and expert lepidopterists who meet to exchange knowledge and support concerning habitat, threats, food sources, identification, and life cycle of butterflies and moths, the Lep Club encourages the sharing of knowledge for the raising and breeding of moths and butterflies through hands-on lessons and guest speakers. Club members are also involved in outreach in the greater Baltimore community through educational programs and service projects. Club meetings often feature a guest speaker who shares their knowledge on a topic related to moths and butterflies. Meetings also include time to distribute caterpillars, eggs, and host plants.
