Critter Crawl !
Saturday, June 25, 2022
1pm - 3pm
FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
Join Mine Kill State Park environmental educators Ian Heney, Abbey Welch, and Katherine Mohan on the forest floor, at the Michael Kudish Natural History Preserve, looking for bugs of all shapes and sizes, from Archaeognatha to Zoraptera!
While we’re flipping rocks, turning logs, and scanning foliage, we’ll discuss the fascinating lives these creatures lead, their importance to humans, and how they fit into our environment. We’ll also go over how to identify some of the larger groups of insects, as well as a few common species.
Whether you’re terrified of insects or a published entomologist, there’s always something to learn
from going out and finding them yourself!
