« Children’s Summer Camp | Small yet mighty, insects are “the little things that run the world,” as the naturalist E.O. Wilson said. They may be creepy and crawly, but they also help maintain healthy soil, keep rivers clean, vacuum up scraps, eliminate pests, and pollinate all sorts of plants to keep our ecosystem going. “Bug out” with us about all the different ways insects benefit the environment and discover ways to support them.
