Check out this interactive look at all the tiny critters that crawl, fly, or slither through the Arboretum landscape. Kids will sweep nets and bug boxes to catch bugs in Kent Field, scoop up some dead bugs to look at up close, and digital microscopes to get a closer look at everything they find.

This is an all-ages, interactive program: come prepared to move around and get up close with some bugs and insects!

Accessibility: The home base for this program is across a wooden bridge and up a slight slope with a dirt trail. The meadow that we will primarily be using for catching insects is accessible by a mowed grass trail.

Audience: This program is appropriate for all ages.
