May Butterfly Pavilion Interview with Arthur Earle of the NMNH

The Garden Thyme Podcast

Hello Listener,

This month, we discuss butterflies and the Smithsonian Butterfly Pavilion at National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. with Arthur Earle.
Arthur answers all our questions about the behind-the-scenes part of running a butterfly show. We talk about why butterflies are important. Arthur gives us some fun butterfly facts about poop and why butterflies like booze.
This month we skipped the Native Plant of the Month, Bug of the Month, and Garden Tips of the Month.
