This class is an opportunity to become more familiar with these beautiful creatures, many of which have probably gone unnoticed or unappreciated in the past. The first session will highlight those butterflies of Northeast Georgia that you will most likely encounter while gardening or simply enjoying the outdoors; whereas, the second session will provide a rare look at some of the amazing moths of this area. Identifying characteristics, male-female differences and interesting facts about their lives will be discussed.
