“Winter Adaptations in Insects"

with

Dr. David Adamski, Ms Dana DeRoche, Dr. Elmore Brown

Join our educators to find out about the starting changes that are taking place in the fall.  Leaves should be turning colors, most plants have developed seeds of different kinds, and the insects are finding suitable places for the winter months.  We will observe fall changes in the forest habitat, dissect logs, and look in the leaf litter for our six-legged animals. In addition, we will collect aquatic insects from a nearby pond.  You will notice that aquatic organisms have different adaptations from those that are terrestrial.  I'm sure you will see organisms that you have never seen before.

We will meet in the parking lot of the education center at 1:00pm before we take the Paw Paw trail into the forest and pond.  Please bring a change of clothes and waterproof pants/boots if you have them.  We may be getting muddy and wet if the weather allows during our pond exploration.

Please RSVP to Christina Factor if you plan to attend.
