Good Insect? Bad Insect? Let's Explore!: Gr. K-5

Wouldn't it be nice to only have good insects? Let's find out how even the "bad ones" can be good.

Going on adventures for insects brings out high passions, so let's allow some insect dislikes to lead us to our insect loves! Being stung can really stick with us and lead our expectations of bees and wasps. Understanding why the bad insects act the way they do can bring more of the story to our bites and stings. It may even prevent the next unfortunate encounter. One of the best things about bugs is that most play important roles in our environment.

Each week we will explore a different set of insects and think about what roll they play in Minnesota.
