Mark your calendar for Tuesday, August 10, at 1pm, when the Beetle & Bug Lady, Stephanie Dole, will immerse our children in the science and lore of bugs at the Walnut Grove Group Picnic Area. A couple of years ago she brought a huge array of these hard-shelled gems, e.g., the Bay Area spotted cucumber beetle, plus other insects to excite our kids into wonderment. She spoke in their language, of these amazing joint-legged, antennae-bearing flyers, and then let all the wiggly Homo sapiens young make a collection jar for the unknown world of rivals in our picnic areas. Children armed with long-handled nets were turned on to capturing and later identifying their insect beasties. Don’t let your kids miss out this time!
