Over 98% of the living world on Earth is smaller than a bee. Yet humans view the planet as a world centered around themselves. Landscapes are deconstructed to suit human needs, often with little regard for the natural systems that sustain the food web. The Extraordinary Caterpillar follows the scientists and community activists with this peek into the dazzling world of nature’s tiniest superheroes.
The Extraordinary Caterpillar is a film by Jeff McKay and sponsored by Homegrown National Park, a group that raises awareness of the need for biodiversity and encourages adding native plants and removing invasives. This event is cosponsored by the Purple Martin and Bird Club (PBMC) and the Center for Lifelong Learning (CLL). Donations to defray the cost of hosting the event will go to CLL and be accepted at the door or you can donate here.
