Our monthly educational program will take place outdoors, a hands-on learning experience along with a talk by naturalist, photographer and insect identification master Tom Murray. While we’re exploring pond-side and along a small portion of trail, Tom will teach us how to tell an insect from a true bug, spiders, millipedes etc. then explain the basics of taxonomy and all the different families of insects. He’ll also demonstrate how and where to find insects and some live-collecting methods for observing and photographing these creatures.
Besides being interested in all kinds of wildlife, Tom is the author of and major contributing photographer for the field guide Insects of New England & New York. He is a regular contributor/editor for BugGuide.net. With the assistance of other amateur and professional entomologists, he has documented previously-unknown distribution ranges for numerous insects as well as new county, state and North American records.
Pre-registration is required.
