About SEMBA

Some of our meeting topics include: 

  • Lifecycles of Common Michigan Butterflies and Moths

  • Butterfly Garden Design - for new and existing gardens

  • Conservation Efforts

  • Rearing Butterflies - from egg to release of the adult

  • Plant Identification

  • Native Plant Seminar and Sale

  • Good Bug, Bag Bug - identify beneficial and harmful insects in your garden

  • Handling and Tagging Lepidoptera

  • Informational Movies - watch movies on Monarch Migration, select Michigan butterfly species, and more.

 

In 2007, a group of butterfly enthusiasts decided to set a time each month to share plants, caterpillars, information, and friendship. After some initial discussions we decided we'd like to share our knowledge and experience with others - and the Southeast Michigan Butterfly Association was formed!
