The middle of summer is an abundant time for insects!  In honor of these fascinating and incredibly important animals, we are going to have two insect-related JAMs.  In this first installment, we will learn what insects are, what they do, and how you can tell an insect from other, small little “bugs” you find out there.  We will observe a collection of insects and observe them under magnifying glasses and jewelers loupes, as well as have the chance to observe live insects in a jar!  Note: You can think of this as a two-part JAM, but attendance of one is not required for the other!

Registration opens on June 5th at 10:00 am
