Monarchs

Nature to Go! Suitcase Exhibition

A computer. Monarchs is a suitcase-sized exhibition filled to the brim with computer interactives, specimens, games, books, posters and more! "Virtually" tag a monarch butterfly, test your survival skills in Mexico or watch a chrysalis transform into a beautiful butterfly. See if you can tell the difference between a monarch and its copycat cousin the viceroy. You've heard about Snakes and Ladders? Well how about playing Caterpillars and Clusters? Try to find butterfly expert and enthusiast Dr. Lincoln Brower at the Butterfly Parade or make a butterfly headband and hold a parade of your own.
