From blooming meadows to bustling city parks and lush backyard gardens — including footage shot right here in the Monadnock Region — this new documentary takes viewers on a journey that celebrates nature’s tiniest superheroes, while showing practical ways we can all contribute to caterpillar conservation. Don’t miss this chance to meet your caterpillar neighbors, ask the questions that have been “bugging” you all summer, and celebrate these incredible animals with knowledgeable naturalists from The Caterpillar Lab!

Arrive at 7 p.m. for a casual meet-and-greet with some of the stars of the show before the film starts at 7:30. Afterward, stick around for a Q&A with The Caterpillar Lab. 7 to 9 p.m. at the Peterborough Community Theatre. Registration is encouraged.
