Earth Pupators: The Underground Architects of the Moth World

Join us for an engaging exploration of the fascinating world of moth caterpillars that choose a unique path in their life cycle. Unlike many insects that spin cocoons above ground, these remarkable caterpillars construct subterranean chambers deep within the soil to undergo their transformation into moths. Known as Earth Pupators, this group includes some of our most familiar moths, such as the enchanting Hummingbird Clearwing Moth. Discover how these underground architects play a vital role in the ecosystem, serving as crucial pollinators for a wide variety of plants. Through this program, presented by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Broome County, youll learn about the habits, habitats, and ecological importance of these often-overlooked creatures. Perfect for nature enthusiasts, gardeners, and anyone curious about the hidden wonders beneath our feet!
