Meet two real-life entomologists that studied bugs in school and now work with them for their job. Learn how they became interested in bugs, and the projects they work on.

You'll also learn about the common critters found around your home, and then make an insect collection. (bring all the dead bugs you can find!)

We will provide a box, pins, labels, and some bugs. Put bugs you find around your home in a jar and freeze them, then bring it to the workshop. You will take home a bug magnifier and bug net.

*never try to catch bees or wasps, as they may sting you. You can usually find them already dead, laying on the ground.
