Newton Conservators will be hosting special online showing of the newly released nature film The Extraordinary Caterpillar at 7PM on Thursday, April 9.
The film features Sam Jaffe of the Caterpillar Lab (who grew up in Newton), Doug Tallamy, and David Wagner. After the 60-minute film, Sam will appear for a question-and-answer session, and will show additional caterpillars from his lab.
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.
Registration is limited so if you sign up and find you can’t attend, please click the link in the email you get from Zoom to cancel your spot so that someone else can enjoy the film.
