Any 4-H members interested in insects? Check this out! 🐝🐞🦋🪰🪲🪳🦗🦟🐜🐛

Interested in doing an Entomology (i.e., insect collection) project? My daughter (age 12) and I are looking for others who are fascinated by entomology and might want to go on "bug hunting" expeditions with us locally in Barry County. Can be a lot of fun. I did entomology projects as a 4-H kid, and the experience launched me into a great career as an ecologist. This winter I became certified as a 4-H "Gold" volunteer and can assist anyone who needs a mentor/leader for this type of 4-H project.
