Move With Monarchs
Catch up with this season’s stunning monarch butterflies and more during Monarchs & Meadow Insects – at Frohring Meadows on Sept. 11 and at Orchard Hills Park on Sept. 18, both from 12:30-4 p.m.
Use the park district’s nets or bring one’s own to catch a variety of butterflies, grasshoppers, praying mantids, katydids, beetles and other meadow insects.
Join in at any time without registration. Sun protection, socks, a hat and long pants are strongly recommended for moving through the meadows.
Plus, should one catch a monarch, a naturalist will be on hand to tag and release it. Provide one’s contact information to be notified if the monarch is later recovered in Mexico.
