MOULTONBOROUGH — Calling al Pupae People. It’s time to break out of your cocoon. Come to the Loon Center at 7 p.m., on Thursday, March 9, to find out who's metamorphosing this year. This hour-long program on New Hampshire's butterflies will introduce the basics of butterfly biology, their life history, migration patterns, and more. Discover how these incredible pollinators sequence through the seasons in search of their favorite nectaries. Find out which ones overwinter as adults, and which ones travel thousands of miles to avoid the cold of winter.
Presented by ecologist Dr. Rick Van de Poll, this program includes the common day flyers in our area, and who's watching them. The NH Butterfly Monitoring Network is gearing up for a banner year, and this is your opportunity to find out when and where the action is, as well as how you can sign up for butterfly training sessions this spring. Six “count circles” are going live this summer, and the nearest one in Conway is not far away.
The Loon Center is located on Lee's Mill Road; follow the signs on Blake Road from Route 25 near the Moultonborough Central School, or from Rte. 109, turn on to Lee Road and turn left on Lee's Mill Road.
