Join the Retzer naturalists as we explore the most diverse and abundant animal on earth – insects! Learn what an insect is, get an up close look at some of Retzer’s teaching insects and examine insect adaptations that help them survive, grow and reproduce. We’ll head outside to search for insects and the signs they leave behind while we compare insect diversity in different habitats.
