Join us on Friday, March 7, for an in-person evening event for educators celebrating the Susan and Peter J. Solomon Family Insectarium.

In this exhibit, you will encounter many species of insects and find out about the critically important roles they play in ecosystems, human agriculture, and even human health as pollinators, seed dispersers, decomposers, builders, soil aerators, and more.

The evening will feature a reception with drinks and snacks, followed by a talk from Curator Jessica Ware, Ph.D.

This exclusive event is an opportunity for teachers to view the exhibit, network with other educators, and learn how to use the space with their students.
