All about butterflies

What I will do is discuss the topic of butterflies that can be found in Oro Valley, using 2 drawers of a synoptic collection I have of mounted butterflies representing 82 species found in my yard.  I can relate this to how butterflies fit into the local landscape and ecology of Oro Valley.  I can also bring in some live butterflies that can be observed and held in small screened cages, and also probably some larvae and pupae to show life cycles.  Also will give a few lines on how to best plant a butterfly garden and how anyone can observe or study them at a casual level, as I always go for an interactive and participatory audience.
