Come learn about bees, butterflies, dragonflies, and other insects this summer by participating in eight different community science projects led by the UW Insect Ambassadors! Each event will feature a short talk from an insect expert, followed by an hour of guided data collection. Events are open to the public. All ages welcome(although some data collection will need an adult helper). Registration is required. Visit: https://entomology.wisc.edu/outreach/insect-ambassadors/community-science-series/
