Huntington County Purdue Extension will be providing two workshops on August 17, 2017 at 12:00pm and 6:00pm at Larry & Joyce Keiffer Family Living Building at Huntington County Fairgrounds, 631 Taylor St in Huntington, Indiana.

This Butterfly Workshop will feature butterfly life cycles, butterfly facts and myths, and information on how to attract butterflies. Butterfly eggs, caterpillars in varying stages and butterflies will be available for viewing. Participants will tour a milkweed patch, weather permitting, to search for Monarch butterfly eggs. Depending on availability, participants will take home butterfly eggs or caterpillars to raise and release.

The workshops will be held at the Huntington County Fairgrounds at 631 Taylor St, Huntington, IN. The program is appropriate for all ages. If you are interested in learning more about these endangered Monarchs and other butterflies, please call (260)-358-4826, or email gRelated
