Build Your Own Bug Hotel

Bugs are the most prominent and diverse group of living creatures on earth – be they arthropods or true insects, spiders or the humble ant. As we move through the springtime and see the emergence of more and more insects, we found ourselves wondering if there might be a way to get a closer look at or easier way to study some of these outdoor neighbors. So, why not build a bug hotel to encourage them to stick around?

Join us in the Learning Center as we use natural and recycled materials to construct a bug hotel!
