Tour Tips:
Dancing Caterpillars
When your guests are visiting your larvae rearing area, open a Monarch larvae container and sing with a deep voice and a strong beat to the larvae.
They will, in most instances, 'dance' to the music. Vary the beat so it will be obvious to all that they are responding to noise.
Ask if someone has a birthday that month and sing 'Happy Birthday'. Explain that the caterpillars are dancing for the birthday child.
Monarchs, Queens, Soldiers, and Oleander Moths all respond to music and loud, deep noises.
