"Bugging Out!" Insects Around You and Starting a Collection

Are you always wondering to yourself, "What's that bug?". Have you considered starting an insect collection? Every summer we offer camps for our 4-H Youth on Entomology, and every year the adults wonder when it is their turn! Well adults, your time has come!

In this two and a half hour class I'll cover:

• The Major Insect Orders in Florida
• Basics of Insect ID
• Insect Collection and Pinning
• Insects as Art

You'll go home with some insect art, information on how to put together an insect collection and pinning kit, and a better understanding of the creepy crawlies in your garden.
