Insect Safari
Insect Safari
Do you like bugs? You can go on an insect safari to discover the bugs that live in your backyard. Go outside with a jar and a bug net if you have one, look under rocks, on the underside of leaves, at the base of trees and see what you can find. Remember to be gentle with the bugs and let them go if you capture them. Take pictures of some of the bugs you find and send then to me - sbirnbaum@sebusd.org
Also, you can look at this online bug guide to identify the bugs you find https://bugguide.net/node/view/3/bgpag
