Join us for an educational evening at the Butterfly House as we host a special movie screening, followed by a virtual "Q&A" with the film's director, Kim Smith.
"Beauty on the Wing: Life Story of the Monarch Butterfly" is a 56-minute narrated documentary that takes place along the shores of Cape Ann and in the heart of Mexico’s forested volcanic mountains. Every stage of the butterfly’s life cycle is experienced in vibrant close-up, from egg to caterpillar to adult, and set to the background of sea and forest, sun and wind. By the millions and millions, the intrepid monarchs journey thousands of miles. The most magical thing is that this migration happens in backyards, farms, meadows, and along the shoreline, wherever milkweed and wildflowers grow.
