| Butterfly Gardening The Ohio Lepidopterists (TOL) promote butterfly gardening in Ohio as a way of educating the public about the beauty and importance of Lepidoptera. The Butterfly Gardening Committee offers a chance for butterfly gardeners to share their gardens with others. Members of TOL are encouraged to register their butterfly gardens with TOL. Members who register their gardens receive a beautiful certificate of registration (click here to see an example of the certificate). Persons who wish to register their gardens should contact Dave Parshall or Valerie Passoa (see "Contacts" on the About page). |
| Speakers/Presenters Committee Part of the mission of The Ohio Lepidopterists is to educate the public about the aesthetic and scientific importance of butterflies and moths to Ohioans. The Speakers/Presenters Committee provides speakers free of charge to interested organizations and groups in Ohio. Please contact Dave Parshall to arrange a speaker for your group (see "Contacts" on the About page). |
| Butterfly House In 1993 The Ohio Lepidopterists formed a partnership with The Ohio Department of Natural Resources' Division of Wildlife to promote and staff the Division's butterfly house at The Ohio State Fair. Each August members of The Ohio Lepidopterists volunteer to work at the butterfly house and have a great time meeting the public and sharing information about Ohio's butterflies. Anyone can become a volunteer by contacting Dave Parshall or Valerie Passoa (see "Contacts" on the About page). |

Butterfly Observers Group
The Ohio Lepidopterists sponsor a group for butterfly observers known as the
Butterfly Observers Group (or BOG). The Butterfly Observers Group meets the first
Tuesday of each month at the Upper Arlington Library at 7:00 PM. Each meeting
features a program on butterflies, moths or a nature related program. Some
previous programs have been on butterfly gardening, caterpillars, Lepidoptera
lifecycle, dragonflies and where to look for butterflies. During “flight months” (April to October) the Butterfly Observer Group plans fieldtrips on the second Saturday. These trips and meeting locations are listed on the calendar (see "Calendar" on the About page). For additional information or questions about the Butterfly Observers Group, contact Jim Davidson or Leslie Angel (see "Contacts" on the About page). |
| Portable Displays A very nice easy-to-assemble display is available for meetings, conferences, seminars, etc. This is a table top display designed to show the many programs and benefits of The Ohio Lepidopterists. Fliers and handouts are also available. Contact Leslie Angel to reserve the display (see "Contacts" on the About page). |
