Celebrate 'Bug Week' at UConn

Explore the world of insects both indoors and out with Pamm Cooper and Joan Allen from the UConn Home & Garden Education Center.

Live specimens of various insects including walking sticks will be on hand for an up close look at some of the most fascinating animals found in fields, gardens and trees. Weather permitting, time will be spent outdoors searching for and identifying insects.

This event is part of the inaugural UConn Bug Week and will be of interest to people of all ages.

It will be held at the CT. Museum of Natural History on the UConn Storrs Campus from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 25.

Check out this and other events, and learn more about some of Connecticut’s tiny inhabitants on the official Bug Week website: www.bugs.uconn.edu. Questions? Email bugweek@uconn.edu for more information.
