Learn how to get started with raising native Maryland Saturniids with the NHSM Lepidoptery Club, including sourcing eggs, caterpillars, or cocoons, and host plants. Army Anderson is the presenter.
This meeting of the NHSM Lepidoptery Club will take place in person at 6908 Belair Rd. For planning purposes, we ask that you register ahead of time.
If you love butterflies and moths, consider joining the Lep Club. Made up of novice and expert lepidopterists who meet to exchange knowledge and support concerning habitat, threats, food sources, identification, and life cycle of butterflies and moths, the Lep Club encourages the sharing of knowledge for the raising and breeding of moths and butterflies through hands-on lessons and guest speakers. Club members are also involved in outreach in the greater Baltimore community through educational programs and service projects.
Annual NHSM membership is $35 for individuals, $50 for families; Lep Club membership is an additional $5 for individuals and $10 for families. Although you don’t need to be a member to attend our meetings, your membership dues support our programs and give you access to exclusive field trips and other events. Please email the club coordinator with questions.
