Did you know that in the wild, less than 10% of eggs laid survive long enough to become butterflies? The survival rates for butterfly eggs are so low due to various threats like predators such as ants, bees, spiders as well as bad weather and pesticides. Learn how to collect eggs from Black Swallowtails and Monarchs and raise them indoors to increase their chances of survival. Raising butterflies inside is easy and educational as you watch the transformation life cycle from egg to a beautiful butterfly. It is a miraculous experience for people of all ages.
Students ages 7-17 can attend with a registered adult
My passion for raising butterflies began in September of 2022 when I accidentally found my first Black Swallowtail caterpillars on a pot of parsley. I successfully raised them over the winter and watched them hatch into beautiful butterflies in the spring. Ever since I have been studying and raising both Black Swallowtails and Monarchs and continue to be awed by the miracle of their transition from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly.
