This drop-in exhibit will feature a variety of local caterpillar species, and there will be plenty to see and study!
Educators from The Caterpillar Lab will teach you all about metamorphosis and tell incredible but true stories about the creatures' strange and surprising adaptations.
Some caterpillars may be camouflaged to look like twigs or snakes.
Some may have stinging spines or brightly colored baubles.
