Film Screening: 'The Extraordinary Caterpillar', Princeton Public Library

Thursday August 6, 2026
6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

This hour-long documentary shines a spotlight on the critical—but often overlooked—role caterpillars play in biodiversity and follows the scientists and community activists working to aid them. The film includes entomologist Doug Tallamy, co-founder of the Homegrown National Park movement which works to restore the ecosystems that provide habitats, clean air, and water. As Tallamy explains, caterpillars are essential to the food web: a single chickadee nest requires six to nine thousand caterpillars to survive their first two weeks of life. Even grizzly bears rely on caterpillars to fatten up for winter.

Presented in partnership with the Princeton Public Library and the Princeton Environmental Film Festival.
