Who are the insects and many other life forms who live in our towns?
What do they look like? What are their lifecycles, how do they raise their families, what do they eat, where do they sleep?
Join us as we enjoy the many benefits of nature connection, and increase our knowledge about the natural world and biodiversity, particularly 'nearby nature' in your home locality.
Enjoy the benefits of connection with nature.

In a few weeks if not sooner Insect activity will start to hum. Will you report your observations on iNaturalist?
Links below are short videos on how to upload observations to iNaturalist. Tutorial from North Branch Nature Center.
Observing the behavior and the life cycle of insects is like getting to know someone as an individual vs. knowing them by name and infrequent contact only.

Traditional research on pollinators has focussed on specific bee groups, such as honeybees and bumblebees (Kremen et al., 2002; Klatt et al., 2014; Lemanski et al., 2022). However, recent studies have demonstrated the equally critical roles played by other insect groups, including ants, beetles, bugs, butterflies, flies, and wasps (Rader et al., 2016; Rader et al., 2020; Requier et al., 2023).
