Caterpillar Adoption

Monarch Fest Caterpillar Adoption Registration (PICKUP OF CATERPILLAR WILL BE AT MONARCH FEST-SATURDAY, JULY 11)

There are some important things to note BEFORE you take home a hungry caterpillar (on JULY 11). Pease read the following carefully prior to registration.

1) Limit of one (1) caterpillar adoption per family household while supplies last.

2) You MUST have your own milkweed source to feed your hungry caterpillar, or it will not survive!*

*(ICNC is unable to provide milkweed to adoptees). If you do not have a source of milkweed you will not be able to adopt a caterpillar.

3) All caterpillars must be picked up on Saturday, July 11 between 10AM and 1PM. Once you register, we will send you a sign-up link to select your pickup time! If you do not sign up for a pickup time, you will automatically be assigned to pick it up between 12:30-1pm. After 1pm your caterpillar will no longer be held for you.

4) If your plans change and you can no longer pick up your caterpillar, please call us right away at 319-362-0664 so we can offer the spot to others.
