4/20 - Meet the Creatures Earth Day Celebration - Mission

 
Meet the Creatures that make South Texas so colorful and wonderful at the National Butterfly Center's Earth Day celebration, Saturday, April 20, from 10 AM – 2 PM.

From tarantulas and horned toads, to Texas Indigoes and bobcats, a tremendous variety of insects, reptiles and mammals may be encountered in this 100 acre park, on any given day. For this reason, adults and children are invited to explore the gardens and hunt the Hackberry Trail, to discover the cool and creepy critters that inhabit this special section of the Lower Rio Grande Valley Wildlife Conservation Corridor.

MaxandMeTake a guided tour with Cowboy Max, or become a butterfly and learn the lifecycle with Louie. NBC members will be on hand to teach basic bird identification, in our newly-redesigned observation station, and share "critter cam" videos of our truly wild night life! Enjoy our 'Hungry Caterpillar' recycled tire playscape, courtesy of Tire Corral; picnic under the palapa; and pin the tail on the swallowtail. Arts and crafts, as well as fun, educational activities await all who wish to participate; not to mention, Spike, the world's most spectacular non-butterfly.
