Bugs and Brews: Butterfly and Plant Coevolution with Rob Taylor
March 18 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
For the last 400 million years, plants and insects have evolved side-by-side, often influencing each other’s evolutionary trajectory. Join us this month as we welcome MBHI’s own Rob Taylor, horticulturist, butterfly dad, and everyone’s go-to plant guy, for a look at the dynamic interplay between plant and butterfly coevolution.
When: Tuesday, March 18th. Doors open at 6:30 PM, speaker at 7:15 PM.
Where: Missoula Butterfly House and Insectarium, 1075 South Ave W., Missoula, MT 59801
Be sure to get there when the doors open to give yourself ample time to explore the museum and butterfly house before the lecture. Grab a beer, peruse the exhibits, and hold a bug or two at our encounter area!
Admission is $14 for non-members / $10 for members, which includes two complimentary beverages. Must be 21 or over for alcohol, non-alcoholic beverages available.
As always, a big thank you to our friends at Draught Works for donating the beer and hard seltzer for this unforgettable lecture series!
