Friday, May 18, 2012 Special Lecture

The Blues, the Admirals, the Sulphurs, and especially the Swallowtails delight our senses when the sun becomes a regular here in the Willamette Valley. If you haven't already guessed, these are all butterflies, and Robert Michael Pyle, the author of fourteen books, including Chasing Monarchs, Where Bigfoot Walks, and Wintergreen, will be sharing his incredible world of butterflies with Lane County residents in a special lecture, The Natural History of Butterflies. The local chapter of the North American Butterfly Association and the Eugene Natural History Society are co-sponsoring Robert Michael Pyle, a Yale-trained ecologist and Guggenheim fellow, now living and butterflying in southwestern Washington. The public is invited free of charge to enjoy his presentation: Room 100, Willamette Hall, UO Campus, 7:30PM.
