Join Claudia Nuñez Penichet, a postdoctoral researcher at the KU Natural History Museum, to learn about the diversity, ecology and importance of butterflies and moths in our region. You will learn about a wide variety of lepidopterans and their ecological roles and unique characteristics. Claudia will also share practical tips on supporting butterfly and moth species in your backyard. From planting host species to letting leaves lie, small changes in your land stewardship practices can create a haven for these beautiful creatures.

Science Sundays is a monthly series of in-person public talks at the KU Field Station. These Sunday afternoon talks cover a variety of science topics, including research happening at the Field Station. Talks are free and open to the public—anyone who wants to learn more about science—but may not interest younger audiences.

Registration will be capped at 40 each month; please RSVP by emailing Wendy Holman (wendyholman@ku.edu), KU Field Station education program coordinator. Snacks provided.

The KU Field Station is managed by the Kansas Biological Survey & Center for Ecological Research.
