Get ready for a fantastic class on caterpillars, butterflies, and other insects on Thursday, September 4th from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm at the Clemson Botanical Garden.

Dr. David Coyle will talk about all things Lepidoptera (fancy talk for moths and butterflies) before we begin exploring the native trees, shrubs, and perennials in search of caterpillars. Some species we might find include: the Stinging Rose caterpillar, the Monkey Slug, and the Saddleback, among others.

As fall migratory bird season will have just started, Jay Keck, SCWF’s Industry Habitat Manager and our in-house bird guy, will also be on site to identify any of the birds feasting on caterpillars during the class.
