Caterpillar Lab
The Caterpillar Lab returns to the Arboretum for a full weekend packed with caterpillar displays, free-exploration programming, digital microscopes, and experienced educators on hand to give you insights into these amazing animals.
This exhibit takes place in the Hunnewell Lecture Hall, where Caterpillar Lab staff brings in hundreds of caterpillars, cocoons, and lots of leafy greenery for the caterpillars to explore. This is a unique opportunity for visitors to experience the huge diversity of native caterpillars close up, with the help of special magnifying equipment that blow some of the caterpillars up on the big screen, and knowledgeable experts full of surprising caterpillar factoids.
The lab will be open on Saturday and Sunday, from 11:00am to 4:00pm each day.
Registration is not required but helps us with planning.
Accessibility: The lecture hall is wheelchair accessible.
Audience: This program is appropriate for all ages.
