We had a great time during our
insect adventure with Dr. Shawn Clark on Saturday, September 28, 2013. We visited the area around Mill Race Creek,
which is full of vegetation such as phragmites and bulrush. In this amazing ecosystem we were able to go
out and catch insects on our own, using nets provided by Dr. Clark. After catching the insects, Dr. Clark
identified several of the insects found and many of our patrons were able to
start their own collections. This trip
was a lot of fun as we were able to go into the ecosystem itself, charging
through the thick reeds, sweeping back and forth to capture new interesting
insects. Dr. Clark's love of insects was
shared by many present, bringing lots of fun to the trip. This is a great way to learn more about our
small friends who help keep this world running and we hope you will be able to
join us again in the winter and even start your own insect collection!
