Weird & Wonderful Insects

You are invited to join Chicago Field Museum insect educators and scientists to see their amazing collections of local, native insects at JDCF’s Casper Bluff Reserve at 870 S Pilot Knob Rd Galena, IL. There will also be insect displays collected by local entomologists on hand for viewing.

Learn how to use a sweep net to see what weird and wonderful insects you can find in the early summer prairie. Stay after the sun goes down to see and learn about the moths and other winged bugs of the night that are drawn to a special lighted viewing sheet. Take away knowledge and wonder of the strange but beautiful biodiversity that calls northwest Illinois home. Free and RSVPs not needed. This event is subject to weather related cancellations.
