Learn about Alaska’s insects and their relatives - from our beautiful butterflies
and dragonflies to our less-loved mosquitoes and spiders. Through field, forest and
pond, under rocks, in flowers and everywhere else, we’ll collect (catch and release
some, keep others to build a collection of preserved specimens campers can take home)
and study these fascinating many-legged tiny animals.
Session I taught by Derek Sikes, UAMN Curator of Insects, and Melissa Sikes, Natural Resource Education Specialist at the Fairbanks Soil and Water Conservation
District .
Session II taught by Taylor Kane, UAF Ph.D student.
