Butterfly Lady Educates and Entertains!

Thanks to butterfly expert and breeder Suzanne Tilton, aka the Butterfly Lady, for sharing her NC-native caterpillars, live monarch butterflies and lots of great information about butterfly gardening with market shoppers on July 18. Here Suzanne and her helper, Adrienne, demonstrate some differences between butterflies and moths. 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 her visit to the market in early June is posted at her web site. Suzanne will be back at the Education Tent on August 29--mark your calendar!
