September: Autumn’s Creepy Crawlies!

Pollinators, spiders and spotted lantern flies (oh my)! As the cool fall weather creeps in some insects head south, some stay, and some move inside with us! During this “Buckets” program, we’ll have fun learning and participating in activities about these critters and their interesting autumn behavior.
