Across southern Ontario, woolly bear caterpillars signal fall's arrival, and these fuzzy members of the moth family will be taking pride of place during an upcoming Cambridge festival.
The Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory has designated October as “Woolly Bear Month”, and it has planned an assortment of activities that will encourage all ages to explore and appreciate the natural world. These will be self-guided and included with the admission price, and there will even be an online lesson available for those who want to raise one of the caterpillars so they can watch it transform into an Isabella tiger moth.
The conservatory will offer families a chance to take part in scavenger hunt that will teach them about woolly bears and how they manage to survive a Canadian winter. They can observe them in the Insect Gallery, and at the admission desk, they can pick up a self-guided activity kit they will be able to use to craft a headband.
Making learning fun is one way that an institution like this can spark a love of science in its patrons, and it can also help them to become environmental stewards. A poster printing company can utilize wide-format Print technology to craft oversized visual materials to use in a display/
The Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory will be exploring the life of woolly bear caterpillars throughout the month of October. Its website provides more details, as well as a link to purchase timed tickets.
