Explore the Beauty of Butterflies and Other Insects
We’re inviting children to find out more about the beautiful butterflies and insects that make their home in Bendigo’s parks. On the day, we’ll quietly search for insects and afterwards, we’ll learn all about the distinctive life cycle of the butterfly, as it transforms from caterpillar to chrysalis to full-fledged adult.
Julie Whitfield, our experienced field guide, will be there to share her extensive knowledge about everything related to Bendigo’s insects (including any questions you may have).
Sunday 15th March 2026, 10:30am to 12noon
Places are limited. Book your spot here.
