Butterfly Identification Workshop

Jesmond Harding, the author of ‘Discovering Irish Butterflies & their Habitats’, is one of Ireland’s foremost butterfly experts! Jesmond has a large collection of mounted butterflies, has captured all of Ireland’s butterflies on film and photograph, and photographed many of our moths, both familiar and rare. Learn about the weirdly wild ways butterflies communicate with each other, and why some social caterpillars eat their own kind.

This FREE event is open to all so join us in Trim library to learn about butterflies and to go out for a practical session in the Porch Fields, Trim afterwards. Children must be accompanied by adults.

It is recommended that you bring appropriate clothing for the outdoor section of this event such as waterproof clothing and good walking boots.

This event is part of Trim Tidy Town's 'Connecting Trim to Nature' project.
