Bug Buddies: Pill Bugs
November 2 @ 11:00 am - 12:15 pm
$12
This program is part of our Bug Buddies series!
Pill bugs (or “roly-polies”) are crustaceans—relatives of crabs and lobsters!—that traded the ocean for your backyard. Discover their ancient origins, how they curl into balls, and why they’re vital decomposers.
Did you know pill bugs breathe through gills? That’s why they love damp places! In this hands-on session, we’ll observe their behavior and learn how they recycle dead plants into healthy soil.
Classes will take place both outdoors (weather permitting) and indoors. All classes are hands-on, exploratory, and include a related activity.
Recommended for ages 3-10 years old, but all are welcome. One parent or guardian must remain with child(ren) at all times, this is not a drop-off program.
