Beetles to Butterflies: A Closer Look 



Saturday and Sunday, June 21 and 22 

 l:00-3:00pm 



Beetles that look like solid gold and butterflies 

 that look like leaves! Some insects are among the 

 most beautiful creatures in the animal kingdom. 

 Using microscopes and hand lenses, take a closer 

 look at the insect world. See the scales of a butter- 

 fly wing and the pinchers of a predatory beetle. 

 Find out how the Insects Division at Field 

 Museum identifies specimens and stores their 

 collection. Pin and label ajapanese beetle to start 

 your own collection.
