Holderness, NH – Squam Lakes Natural Science Center hosts The Caterpillar Lab for a five-day exhibit featuring a huge variety of New England caterpillar species with plenty to see and touch! Educators from The Caterpillar Lab will teach all about metamorphosis and tell incredible but true stories about the strange and surprising adaptations of these creatures. Some caterpillars are camouflaged to look like twigs or snakes. Some have stinging spines or brightly colored baubles. Visitors will learn about these little-known native critters munching on their food plants right at eye level. For more information, see www.thecaterpillarlab.com.
