Butterflies of Florida

Recording of live webinar on 8/17/21
Who doesn’t love butterflies? They are the beautiful little critters flying around your garden and flitting through sunny patches in the forest. But did you know there are over 150 species of butterflies in Florida? And do you know how to tell them apart from their close cousins, the moths? Together, we will learn about the biology and diversity of these creatures!
Presented by Brian Magnier

CORRECTION: in my graphic at 5:45, I accidentally wrote that males generally have threadlike antennae and females have feathery antennae in moths - this is reversed. The males are generally the ones with the feathery antennae. I believe I said it correctly during the presentation, but that one slide is incorrect. I apologize for any confusion.

Bird populations are suffering. And as everything is connected, I'd wager water fowl are also in decline as a result in insect decline...not just from habitat destruction.
It is astounding to me that I have family right near Brooker Creek and yet they've never been and they switch off when I speak about what we can do to help our friends in nature.
