Beetles, Bugs & Butterflies

Belmont Biology professor Dr. Steve Murphree encourages school-aged children to explore the world of insects at Beetles, Bugs and Butterflies summer day camps.

Children are encouraged to bring in insects for discussion and materials such as collecting equipment, field guides and refreshments will be provided.
