Tuesday, December 10, 7:30 pm – Life on the Leaf Edge
The next meeting of the Cambridge Entomological Club will take place Tuesday, December 10 beginning at 7:30 pm in room 101 of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Oxford Street, Cambridge. Samuel Jaffe will present a talk entitled Life on the Leaf Edge. Sam Jaffe will discuss his work photographing our local caterpillars. Highlights will include details on the defensive adaptations of caterpillars, and information on how he finds, rears, and photographs them. Live pupae will be featured, as well as, of course, the photos themselves.
Sam will also discuss how he has incorporated caterpillars into educational programming and curricula across New England in the hopes of fostering a new generation of aware and passionate naturalists. The meeting is free and open to the public. Snacks will be provided and you are also welcome to join us at 6:00 PM for an informal pre-meeting dinner at the Cambridge Common.
