Interesting Insects: September’s NatureKids Adventure

As the summer comes to an end, a new season of NatureKids is beginning! Welcome to our new groups and welcome back to those returning for another season. We hope you have an excellent year learning and adventuring in nature together. 

For this September edition of NatureKids, we will be exploring the world of insects. These small but mighty creatures not only make up the majority of life on our planet, but they also provide essential support to entire ecosystems through pollination, decomposition, and more! 

This month’s theme was inspired by our newly released Backyard Insects Guide, which can be found on our website! Take a look here:

Backyard Insect Exploration: Use Nature NB’s brand new insect identification guide to discover the critters in your neighborhood. How many types of insects can you find?

Build-a-Bug: Get creative and design different species of insects with your friends.

Insect Movement Games: Try these games to move like insects do, how well can you mimic their movements?

Native Bees Creature Feature: Learn about these important and endangered pollinators. 

Enjoy interacting with this extremely diverse group of animals before they disappear for the colder months! Check out the resources below, and keep an eye on Nature NB’s social media for future updates.
