About this Event

Join Docent Naturalists Jan Hintermeister, Karen DeMello, Cathy Brown, and Stephen Buckhout to explore the wonderful and strange world of insects that taste with their feet and smell with their antennae. Learn to identify common butterfly species and understand why humans from the Stone Age to the Space Age have been fascinated with these delicate winged creatures. Many facts and flutters await you on this leisurely-paced walk along the Zinfandel and Orchard Loop trails. Bring binoculars if you have them. Attentive children with an interest in nature are welcome. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after April 25 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close May 8 at 2:00 p.m.
