Science on Tap: America’s Rarest Butterflies

The next Science on Tap, “The Secret Lives of America’s Rarest Butterflies”, is 7 p.m. June 11 at the Kiggins Theatre, 1011 Main St., Vancouver. Tickets are $15-$45 at kigginstheatre.com or visit scienceontaporwa.org. You’ve probably heard of monarch butterflies, but have you heard of a Bartram’s scrub-hairstreak? In the United States, 21 butterfly species are listed as federally threatened or endangered. All have unique ecologies that help them survive. Ecologist Erica Henry will share what conservation scientists are doing to try to recover some of America’s rarest butterflies and what you can do for butterflies in your own backyard.
