We will do a [learning tour of the museum](https://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/insectmuseum/)\- showcasing specimens of endemic bugs\, introduced pests\, and talk about various Hawai‘i\-centric insect topics\, so it’s related to the outdoors and native Hawaiian biodiversity\. You’ll also be able to ask bug questions to a real\-life entomologist\! In case you’ve seen it in the news\, our lab discovered the [“Hawaiian “bone-collector” moth](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/carnivorous-bone-collector-caterpillars-wear-corpses-as-camouflage/), unique to just a few forests in the Waiʻanae mountains! Afterwards we will walk to the Japanese Gardens, and possibly down to the Manoa stream.

(Note: there will be both dead and live insects! also, the collection has Naphthalene/mothballs, just a heads up if you are known to be sensitive to this compound)
