Bug Safari! at the Updike Farmstead July 2, 2011

Please join us on Saturday, July 2, 2011, at the Updike Farmstead for a Bug Safari! There are nearly one million known species of insects in this world. Young entomologists will study insect anatomy and life cycles, and learn how insects fit into the food web. Come hunt for insects on the grounds of the Updike Farmstead. Children will learn the importance of insects to crops, native plants and animals, with a special emphasis on fireflies. Nets, critter catchers, jars and a butterfly tent will be supplied. Live insect specimens will also be on view. All native insects will be released unharmed at the end of the program. Updike Farmstead will be open from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm with arts and crafts, games, scavenger hunts, and other fun activities throughout the day! The Bug Safari runs from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm.
