Mid-season Sax-Zim Bog Butterflies Field Trip

The Sax-Zim Bog is home to a diverse set of plants, and most of those plants have a particularly close relationship to butterflies and moths. Through the seasons, butterfly communities can vary greatly, and July is one of the best months to see an abundant diversity of butterflies in this area. This field trip seeks to provide some encounters with uncommon (to the area) southern species like Black Swallowtail and Silver-spotted Skipper, as well as wetland specialists like Baltimore Checkerspot, and fast-moving Skippers and Blues.

All ages and ability levels are welcome. Field Trip attendance is free for Friends of Sax-Zim Bog members. The $25 membership fee covers free entry to all field trips and programs, excluding workshops, in a 12-month period.

Registration is required at saxzim.org. Registrants meet at the Friends of Sax-Zim Bog Welcome Center and Lois King Education Center at noon. The field trip concludes at 5 p.m.
