SciFun Camp - Spiders and other Non-Insects
If you’ve come to any nature-related camps before, you know that a walk around our wetlands usually involves seeing insects. They are very common animals - in fact, one quarter of all described species.on the planet is a beetle! But what about the other invertebrates? Spiders, mites, isopods (“rollie pollies”) and other invertebrates deserve attention too.
In this camp, we will learn about the “non-insects”. Many of these little animals are also predators of insects, which helps keep their populations from getting too large and overwhelming their environment. This makes them important for biocontrol, which we will do an activity for.
For elementary school ages.
