Have you ever wondered why a firefly glows or how ants can 

 carry enormous crumbs on their baci<;s? How does a hairy green 

 caterpillar change into a brilliant butterfly? Join Dr. Hugh Danks 

 as he introduces the wonderful world of insects. In a program 

 designed for families with children ages 5 to 1 2, learn to 

 observe, identify, and enjoy the tiny creatures that populate 

 even the smallest patch of grass or flower bed. All children 

 receive a "bug certificate" and activities to try at home.
