NJ Audubon: Introduction to the Butterflies of New Jersey

Learn to identify these wonderful creatures!

A Lecture and Outdoor Walk Presented by Mike Newlon, Associate Naturalist

Enjoy a presentation on the butterflies of New Jersey. Mike will focus on those that are most likely to be seen, plus a few that are biologically interesting or simply beautiful. Mike will also briefly cover butterfly life cycle and conservation efforts in the state. After the presentation Mike will lead an outdoor walk at the sanctuary for hands-on practice at identifying butterflies in the field. Bring binoculars if you have them, loaner binoculars will be available.

Mike has been interested in natural history for over 60 years and has led field trips for bird clubs in Massachusetts, Washington, Iowa, and New Jersey. When he retired he got a camera and has devoted his time to photographing New Jersey's birds and butterflies.
