Arthropods GO!

Insects and other hard-shelled leggy creatures rule just about every habitat on the planet. Let’s spend a week on a quest to find them! We’ll search high and low, in fields, forests, and streams to learn all about how these amazingly adapted animals have survived for millions of years, and what they can tell us about the health of our planet today.
