While sitting on your porch swing on a lovely summer evening, an elegant creature flutters near the glow being emitted from the light above the mailbox. The delicate dancing being rests a moment on the lawn chair and you deduce that only a butterfly could be so beautiful.
You soon notice that this insect has landed with its wings open instead of closed. You also wonder why this butterfly has not settled in for the evening and you realize that this is no butterfly but the most beautiful moth you have ever seen! Your previous beliefs of moths being drab and dull have been dispelled! Butterflies and moths are full of fascinating surprises and every child should have the opportunity to chase these dancing insects through a meadow and examine their life cycles. So don’t let your homeschooler miss this chance to explore the world of butterflies and moths this month during Homeschool Nature Club. The cost for this program is only $2.50 for members and $5.00 for non-members. Registration and payment are due by Monday, September 13 and spots are filling fast.
