Interesting Insects
It’s estimated that there are over 10 quintillion living bugs on planet earth at a single time! That’s more than 200 million insects for each human! While a lot of people think that bugs are actually creepy crawlies, they play a very special role on our planet. In Interesting Insects, campers will learn why it may be better to release a spider back outside than giving it the underside of a boot.

It’s in the Stars
