Bring the kids and family for this fun and educational film all about the superheroes that are caterpillars and the little but important lives they lead in our ecosystem. 🐦⬛🦉🌿🦋🐝Saturday, April 18th, 1-3 pm, Five Corners Library in Jersey City.
Birds feed their young caterpillars—primarily from moths, not butterflies—because they are soft-bodied, high in protein and fat, and packed with carotenoids for healthy development. Approximately 96% of terrestrial bird species rely on caterpillars to rear their young, with a single chickadee family requiring 6,000–9,000 caterpillars per clutch
The Story
Over 98% of the living world on Earth is smaller than a bee. Yet humans view the planet as a world centered around themselves. Landscapes are deconstructed to suit human needs, often with little regard for the natural systems that sustain the food web. The Extraordinary Caterpillar follows the scientists and community activists with this peek into the dazzling world of nature’s tiniest superheroes.
