Extraordinary Caterpillar Movie and Discussion with Greenwich Pollinator Pathway
Peek into the world of nature’s tiniest superheroes.
Come watch a special screening of The Extraordinary Caterpillar, a beautifully shot 60-minute documentary that reveals the vital—and often overlooked—role caterpillars play in our ecosystems.
From blooming meadows to city parks and backyard gardens, this inspiring film celebrates the magic of nature while showing families practical ways to make a difference.
Along the way, you’ll see the groundbreaking work of The Caterpillar Lab, entomologist David Wagner, and Doug Tallamy, co-founder of Homegrown National Park.
What you’ll get:
- Inspiring stories about why caterpillars are essential to healthy ecosystems
- Simple steps you can take to create habitat in your own yard or community
- A chance to ask questions during a live Q&A*
- Free handouts to help you take action right away*
This film is an opportunity to learn about how the tiniest of animals, the humble caterpillar, is the foundation of our wild food web—and to be part of the movement to bring it to your backyard.
The screening will be followed by a live Q&A with Greenwich Pollinator Pathway, which will provide handouts with practical steps you can take at home to support caterpillars.
