Learning Insect Life Cycles Leads to Improved Habitats

Colleen has been giving talks and demonstrations on butterflies and moths for decades. Earlier talks focused on Caterpillar Gardening, because without caterpillars we don’t have butterflies.  "And then about 15 years ago, I really started getting into moths and learning what they require to keep their life cycles going. Next I got very curious about the other insects in my life.  When I find a new insect, I enjoy researching what it needs to complete its life cycle in my yard.  I have had some surprises that I’d like to share so others can have more of these interesting creatures in their lives, too."
