insect-day-2

Running a fun, educational event for the local home-schoolers this week at Paradise Valley Nature Reserve. 100 people are coming! Hoping for good weather. Another event follows next week for the general public.

With lots of insect photos and videos the presentation shows how insects hatch and grow up, how they breathe (in air and in water), how they feed (different diets, different equipment) and how they stay alive (mimicry, camouflage and other more exotic predator avoidance strategies).
