Spiders, Insects, and Other Creepy Crawlers
Adults had as much fun as the children on this excursion in search of insects and other small creatures. Before taking the group outside, leaders Janet Kovner (purple top, left photo) and Susan Coolidge (blue top, middle photo) described the differences between insects and spiders, and between vertebrates and invertebrates. The grand finale of the program was the discovery of this enormous (1 ½ inch) Reddish-brown Stag Beetle, Lucanus capreolus, under a log in the woods atop Kingsley Park hillside.
