Butterfly Bio-Villa Activities

Butterflies are complicated creatures. Like many insects, they undergo a complete metamorphosis. This means that they start out in one form and change into a completely different creature by the time they are fully developed.
Learn how the butterfly progresses from egg, to caterpillar, to chrysalis, to gorgeous winged creature, all in the course of a few weeks.

Our farm is a certified Monarch Waystation, and we work closely with the Monarch Watch organization, located here in Lawrence, KS.
Learn about the migration habits of monarch butterflies, and help researchers, by tagging butterflies during the migration season.

What do caterpillars and butterflies have in common? Their need for plants.
Learn about what caterpillars eat to grow and how butterflies need specific plants for feeding.
