Catch Bugs with Cali – Aquatic Insects

Cali Granger, Resident Entomologist of the Nature Center and UMU Senior, educated participants about some of the insects they may find in the pond and the stream at the Nature Center.

Kids of all ages tried their hand at netting aquatic insects.

Kick-netting in the stream.

The cool stream in the deep woods is a great place to be on a warm summer afternoon.

Though not an insect, the exciting catch of the day was a salamander.

Back in the lab, Cali identified and described some of the specimens collected.
