Did you know that insects can survive in temperatures of over 110 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade with little to no water? Kurt Leuschner will explore the lives of the largest group of animals in the world through an in-depth study of insect anatomy, survival traits, habitats, and behaviors. Participants will learn to identify and distinguish insects from other arthropods and then practice their skills in the field during this three-day class. Field observations will be made during the day as well as after dark in both desert and riparian habitats. Leuschner will share the amazing stories insects like the yucca moth and the ant lion have to tell. The fascinating world of insects awaits you!
