San Franciscan lepidopterist Liam O’Brien will be the guest speaker at next month’s Sierra Club dinner! Known for his creation of The Green Hairstreak Project and conservation efforts with the endangered Mission Blues on Twin Peaks, Liam will focus his talk on two of the counties largest residents: the Western Tiger Swallowtail ( Papilio rutulus) and our only true migrant – the Monarch (Danaus plexippus). In addition to the amazing stories of adaptation waiting to be told, Liam will also propose radical new ideas this night that our species might consider to make the city better for these species.
