Fireflies are beautiful, but how much do you really know about them? Learn more about these mysterious creatures on Saturday, July 6th, when the Children’s Museum hosts an exhibit aptly titled, Fabulous Fireflies!
On Saturday, Peggy Butler, educator and host of the Pennsylvania Firefly Festival, will be at the Museum to tell visitors about Pennsylvania's State Insect, the Firefly! Learn about their habitat, the 15 different species of fireflies, and why they are important to our ecosystem. Peggy will bring an assortment of hands-on-crafts and interactive information for the younger set and will give an engaging presentation for older kids and adults.
