Virtual Friendly Faces Luncheon held
F.I.S.H. of Sanibel-Captiva launched a butterfly project as part of its monthly Friendly Faces Luncheon via Zoom. In May, attendees learned about butterflies from the Thrifty Garden at Butterfly Estates in Fort Myers. They received their own butterfly habitat and milkweed plant containing caterpillar eggs. Attendees then took care of their habitats and watched the progression as the eggs transformed into Monarch butterflies, which are now flying around Sanibel. One attendees reported, “The butterfly habitat was a brilliant choice for our activity at the Friendly Faces luncheon. I only had one caterpillar hatch, but that one ate every leaf and a lot of the stalks. Now there is a green chrysalis — it has been so enjoyable watching all this unfold. I so appreciate F.I.S.H. and its care of the island’s seniors.”
