Butterflies and moths are truly some of the most beautiful, delicate, and intriguing living organisms on this earth! From the
gorgeous color of a monarch, to the incredible flight patterns of a sphynx moth, to the amazing morphing of a big sluggish caterpillar
into a winged glory soaring on the slightest breeze... butterflies and moths should be a part of every child's knowledge base!
There
is literally no part of the USA that doesn't offer a terrific variety of species of butterflies and moths to enjoy. Want to
get kids interested? Teach them about the relationship of the larval form to the winged. They will be amazed! Many
children love caterpillars, but some are a little intimidated, until they experienced them tickling the palm of their hand...
Show them pictures of the before and after in the short life of these incredible creatures. Few kids will turn away from the
opportunity to get involved in the search for caterpillars, butterflies, and moths if given the chance.
The best part is that
you can find them right out your back door, or in the local park. There is absolutely no need to spend a lot of money driving
long distances to enjoy a wonderful morning with your kids getting up close and personal with butterflies and moths!
