When life gives you lemons, make social distancing lemonade! We know everyone misses their favorite Bug Ambassadors …and we miss interacting with you too. So, we’re bringing the bugs to you thanks to the world wide web and Facebook Live.

Join us Wednesday at 1:00 PM as we go live with some of your favorite Bug Ambassadors. Tune in for each encounter, as we’ll be covering a different topic, with new critters, every time.

To catch our videos live, check out our Facebook page! Some videos come with an activity you can do at home with your family. Scroll down for archived videos and activities from past weeks.
