CHECK UPDATES FOR RESCHEDULED DATE

Join Dr. Peter Oboyski, curator and manager of the Essig Museum of Entomology at UC Berkeley as he discusses the biology and diversity of butterflies. There will be specimens of local butterflies to view and information about how to attract butterflies to your yard.

Butterflies are some of the most conspicuous insects we see when hiking and gardening, yet they still hold many mysteries. Some are territorial over a few square meters of habitat, while others migrate great distances. Some are common pests, while others are endangered, and one local butterfly has gone extinct. And they have complex relationships with the plants they feed on and the predators that attack them, both as larvae and adults.

Peter Oboyski is an entomologist who has been studying Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) in the western US, Hawaii, Tahiti, and Indonesia for over 20 years.
