Are you fascinated by insects? Do you want to learn more about them but aren't sure how? The Stanislaus County UCCE Master Gardeners are offering a chance to help you get started. Instructor Anne Schellman will present on how to classify and identify insects and the process for collecting and pinning. You'll also watch a hands-on demonstration on how to pin and “style” your insect to look its best in your collection, followed by trying it out yourself!
This class is designed for adults (18 and over) interested in starting their own collection. Join us on Tuesday, May 14, at the San Joaquin Agricultural Center in Stockton from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The cost is $40 and includes a glass-topped collection box, pins, preservation strip, and educational materials. We will also provide a light breakfast of fruit, granola bars, tea, and coffee.
If you want to attend up, please sign up ASAP! The class is limited to 30 people and there are only 14 spaces left. Visit http://ucanr.edu/bugs2019
