THE CATERPILLAR LAB is coming to Lynnfield!

On Wednesday, September 28, THE CATERPILLAR LAB will set up a mini-version of their own lab space located in Keene, NH. This drop-in program will feature a huge variety of New England caterpillar species and there will be plenty to see and touch! Educators from The Caterpillar Lab will teach you all about metamorphosis and tell incredible but true stories about the creatures' strange and surprising adaptations. Some caterpillars may be camouflaged to look like twigs or snakes. Some may have stinging spines or brightly colored baubles.

The Lab will take place at the Lynnfield 1714 Meeting House on the Common between 4-7 p.m. This is a FREE event, so drop-in at your convenience and check out some little-known native critters munching on their food plants right in front of you. Stay for a few minutes or for an hour; you're sure to see something new! Learn more about The Caterpillar Lab at www.thecaterpillarlab.com .

The Lynnfield Tree Committee and the Friends of the Lynnfield Library are presenting this special learning and fun activity. Appropriate for all ages, this is an opportunity to discover how a small creature plays such a valuable and interesting role in Nature. Caterpillars are the life of the party as a major food source to birds, plus we would not have any beautiful butterflies without them!
