Did you know that many butterflies have host plant preferences that bring them to certain habitats for most of their life cycle? In this webinar, we will focus on those species that tend to occupy wetlands. Come learn about those scaled insects that frequent bogs, marshes, swamps, stream sides and other wetlands of New Hampshire. Led by certified wetland scientist Dr. Rick Van de Poll, this training seminar will cover the life histories of species that can be found in wetland habitats as well as the plants that attract them there.

This training is part of a series of five webinars hosted by the NH Butterfly Monitoring Network, a collaborative effort led by NH Fish & Game Department to engage volunteers in counting and identifying butterflies across New Hampshire. The series will provide information on butterflies in New Hampshire, butterfly biology and identification, and how to get involved with the NH Butterfly Monitoring Network.
