The Butterfly Man

February 26, 2020 @ 10:30 am - 11:30 am

  • This event has passed.

Joe Dwelly, a Yarmouth resident, will be visiting the Marion Natural History Museum to share what he knows about our local species of butterfly. Mr. Dwelly will give advice about where they can be found and how community members can attract them to their own backyards. Not only will he teach attendees about particular habitat and migration patterns, Dwelly will also profile plant and butterfly “pairings,” which can run the gamut.

For the southeastern Massachusetts area, he will highlight a handful of his favorites, including Monarchs and milkweed; the Spicebush Swallowtail and sassafras; and the Mourning Cloak and hackberry. “We are limited up north because of our particular climate,” Dwelly says. “But by becoming familiar with the exceptional grasslands and plant habitats, we can support a diverse range of unique butterflies.”
