Minibeasts of the Stream (Live Animals!)

Minibeasts of the Stream (Live Animals!)

From mayflies and stoneflies to whirligig beetles and the 2-1/2 inch toe-biter, streams and rivers are alive with insects and other animals whose ancestors have survived millions of years. How have these creatures adapted to life in a flowing, wet world? To find the answers, in this program we'll turn someone from the audience into an aquatic insect. We’ll also look at slides and project live insects magnified on a screen. As the program begins, we all work together to create a rainstorm indoors and share a local Abenaki story about the origins of aquatic life.

Offered from May 1st through September 30th.
