Caterpillars are all around us – and establishing a healthy ecosystem for them is vital if we want to support local populations of butterflies and moths. Learn about the caterpillar life stage, why and how we can support caterpillars, and how to identify over 30 species! Then learn how to build a beat sheet to collect caterpillars. Practice identifying them and learn how you can contribute to citizen science.

The workshop will be led by Erin Garett, Extension Educator, Natural Resources, Environment and Energy  at University of Illinois Extension located at 321-2nd Ave West Milan, IL
