About Phil Torres
The host of animal and exploration shows on the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet, Phil has been bitten by an anaconda, tackled a tiger shark, and gotten lost in a forest of quicksand...all in the name of science. His love of nature and adventure has taken him to the Arctic Circle, the Amazon rainforest, and many exotic locations in between.
About the class
Class 1: Beautiful, Bodacious Butterflies
We all know that butterflies are beautiful to look at, but Phil—who has traveled around the world following his favorite butterflies–has seen that they're so much more, too. Learn why butterflies begin as caterpillars, how they drink the tears of other animals, which butterflies smell like chocolate and why and how you’ll want to set up your garden to help them flourish.
