ESI Course: Entomology for Everyone

Buzz into Summer with “Entomology for Everyone”

June 16, 23, and 30 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. 

Join Harris Center naturalist and entomologist Jenna Spear for an overview of the fascinating and diverse world of insects. We’ll explore basic insect biology, as well as the natural history and ecological significance of some commonly found species. Time will be spent both inside, learning through slides and the Harris Center's pinned bug collection, and outside, exploring different tools and techniques for insect observation. No experience necessary. Expand your horizons this summer and get into insects!

This Environmental Studies Institute (ESI) course will meet at the Harris Center on Mondays, June 16, 23, and 30 from 1 to 2:30 p.m.

Cost: $85 for Harris Center supporters / $125 for all others. For questions about registration, contact Miles Stahmann at [email protected]. For all other information, including questions about accessibility, contact Susie Spikol at spikol@harriscenter.org.

About Jenna Spear

Jenna grew up in the bustling San Francisco Bay Area and then migrated east, discovering a love for the outdoors along the way. After spending time in Mexico studying marine biology, a career in lab science didn’t seem so interesting, so Jenna changed paths to study forest insects. For over 20 years, she’s taught about insects and the natural world to a variety of ages — as an instructor at Keene State College and Antioch University New England, at summer camps, in the Keene elementary schools, and now with the Harris Center. She lives in Keene with her husband, Sean, and various furry family members.
