We joined a program at the nature centre today which focused on insects. After a little discussion we were off for some exploring and hands on finding. The group split into two groups, one into the meadow and the other to the woods (which included us). With nets, jars, and a list to follow the hunt began. Some highlights were big centipedes, a dragon fly, a praying mantis and poly phimus moths caterpillars. We all love the opportunity to love a little bit more about our insect friends. We were also able to ask about the fish we say at the river a week ago. The interpreter gave an educated guess of a sculpin. The one we saw was thinner, longer, smaller fins on the sides and different colouring. We aren't sure, we are going to go back to the river and see if we can get a picture.
