Join Cathy Finnegan of Marshy Point Nature Center to learn about the process of creating, establishing, and maintaining a butterfly house. Find out how it got started, the successes and pitfalls, and the development of the Marshy Point’s current house. Hear about things they never thought they would have to do, and share hope for where they might go!
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.
