Bugs and their Bizarre Biology - 6 week ZOOM event

During this hot Florida summer, stay COOL and enjoy classes from the comfort of your air conditioned home with our virtual 6 week series.
Starting on July 8th you can delve into the world of bugs, creepy crawlies, and anything without a backbone. Bugs are interesting, not gross (ok, maybe a little), and understanding their outlook on life can, in turn, change how we perceive the world. Based on biological principles, this course will explore these animals in our lives, society, homes, and even our bodies. Discussions and activities will be a part of every class to more deeply engage in how these creatures go about their lives.
