NATURE LECTURE: The AMAZING WORLD OF MONARCH BUTTERFLIES AT THE PALM
SPRINGS PUBLIC LIBRARY Presented by Barbara Rosenberg. a Penn State
Master Gardener, who has specialized in MONARCH BUTTERFLIES FOR
TWENTY-five years. Many associate MONARCHS WITH THEIR AWE-inspiring
migration. But their evolutionary plant partner, the milkweed, is also
unique in fascinating ways! This talk will explore the relationship
between MONARCHS AND MILKWEED. We will consider how the features of
milkweed have led to over one hundred species in North
America–adapted for weather extremes and soil conditions from coast
to coast. The talk will also cover surprising aspects of MONARCH
METAMORPHOSIS. What occurs inside that chrysalis so that a train-like
caterpillar, made to move along the ground, can transform into an
air-born butterfly? And what hormone in that process has led to saving
human lives? Finally, we will learn answers to these questions about
the astonishing and beautiful complexity of the AMAZING RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN MONARCH BUTTERFLIES AND MILKWEED. The program is presented in
partnership with the Palm SPRINGS SUSTAINABILITY COMMISSION. Posts You
