Butterfly Talk

Humboldt County Library

Butterfly Talk by Clint Pogue: Elfin Magic: The Power of Curious Communities in Butterfly Conservation.

Humboldt County has 99 kinds of butterflies. From egg to caterpillar to pupa to adult, many are our year-round neighbors. They spend their entire lives around our backyards. In an era of biodiversity loss, we have an opportunity to mitigate declines in our local communities. With a few simple steps, we can unite to increase the number and diversity of butterflies flying up and down our streets. Join us to discuss the power of community and how to harness that energy to reverse the decline for one of Earth’s most beloved groups of insects.

About the Speaker:
Clint is a butterfly biologist who focuses on the impacts of local communities on invertebrates. He grew up in Southeast Missouri where he learned the importance of “being neighborly.” After leaving Missouri, he chased a career from Eastern Washington to Michigan and finally to Humboldt County. Currently, he serves as the President of the local chapter of the North American Butterfly Association (NABA-Redwood). He enjoys spending time taking photos, going to concerts, and swimming in rivers.
