In honor of Earth Day, the City of Des Plaines is offering a free showing of The Extraordinary Caterpillar, a family-friendly film from Homegrown National Park.

Over 98% of the living world on Earth is smaller than a bee. Yet humans view the planet as a world centered around themselves. Landscapes are deconstructed to suit human needs, often with little regard for the natural systems that sustain the food web. The Extraordinary Caterpillar follows the scientists and community activists with this peek into the dazzling world of nature's tiniest superheroes. Click here to view the trailer.
