Friday, July 31
Park Office & Wildlife Center
7:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Enjoy the beauty of live butterflies, colorful photographs and mounted specimens during Rick's humorous, high-energy performance. Great for all ages!
For over 35 years, Rick Mikula has been delighting audiences of all ages with his humorous and off-beat way of looking at butterflies. An award-winning author with several books to his credit, he is also a photographer and habitat consultant, and has created butterfly atriums and gardens for Hershey Foods, Dolly Parton, among others.
Rick's PowerPoint program will not only show the beauty of butterflies that he has found on his travels but also the wonderful creatures that wait right outside your door. Mounted specimens will demonstrate the mystery of camouflage and the trickery of disguise that butterflies and moths use to escape predators.
With 'live' butterflies, always the high point of every presentation, Rick will demonstrate just how easily butterflies can be handled and cared for.
Rick will teach his audience how to raise butterflies and moths at any time of year by using simple, recyclable, household items. They will gain insight into the secrets of butterfly gardens that will not only attract the flying jewels of the sky, but also cause them to lay eggs and start a population right in your yard.
This is a don't-miss program for all ages, from backyard gardeners, to families with children and teachers looking for new ways to bring nature to their schools.
No pre-registration needed for this free family-friendly program. The classroom in the Park Office & Wildlife Center is ADA accessible.
