Raising Lepidoptera
During the spring through the early fall season I locate and raise all manners of butterflies and moths in our local ecosystem. While volunteering at the Natural History Society of Maryland, I worked with other Entomologists and created a Lep Club to teach husbandry of local butterflies and moths to club members. I have extensive knowledge on the host plants and behaviors of many of our local butterflies and moths. I also provide Ladew Topiary Gardens and Irvine Nature Center with many of the caterpillars for their respective butterfly houses.
