The Beauty of the Butterflies

Butterfly expert and breeder Suzanne Tilton, aka the Butterfly Lady, will share her NC-native caterpillars, live monarch butterflies and lots of great information about butterfly gardening with market shoppers on August 29. In this photo, Suzanne and her helper, Adrienne, demonstrated some differences between butterflies and moths when Suzanne visited the market earlier this summer. Caterpillars that turn into butterflies form a chrysalis, like this green one Adrienne is in, and caterpillars that turn into moths form a coccoon. A photo story about Suzanne's visit to the market is posted at her web site.
