What is an insect?

This free program for families lasted about an hour and a half and included classroom discussion and time outside catching insects. After the program ended we walked on the trails and visited the Brooker Creek Preserve exhibit hall to play with the interactive exhibits. We had a great time and would recommend the programs like this to families interested in Florida’s natural history.
