Tuesday Mystery in the Arboretum: Butterflies
Bring the elementary school age kid(s) in your life to the North Idaho Native Plant Arboretum in Lakeview Park between 9:00 a.m. and noon on Tuesday, July 16 to hunt for clues about our native butterflies and their important role as pollinating insects. Start at the KNPS shed on Ella St., solve the mystery, then return to the shed for a cookie and a fun nature activity. Did you know that native butterflies, specifically the Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) in North America, have a remarkable migration? Each year, millions of Monarchs travel up to 3,000 miles from their breeding grounds in the United States and Canada to their wintering sites in central Mexico. This migration is one of the longest and most fascinating in the insect world, and it spans multiple generations, with no single butterfly completing the entire round trip. This means the butterflies rely on inherited instincts to navigate the vast distances.
