Join us for an interactive look at all the tiny critters that crawl, fly, or slither through the Arboretum landscape. We will have sweep nets and bug boxes to catch bugs in Kent Field, some dead bugs to look at up close, and digital microscopes to get a closer look at everything we find. This is an all-ages, interactive program: come prepared to move around and get up close with some bugs and insects!



Accessibility: The home base for this program is across a wooden bridge and up a slight slope with a dirt trail. The meadow that we will primarily be using for catching insects is accessible by a mowed grass trail.


Closest Arboretum Entrance: Bussey Street Gate or Walter Street Gate


Audience: This program is appropriate for all ages.


Inclement weather policy: Participants will be notified via email at least 24 hours in advance if a program needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather, and will be notified by phone if a program must be cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice. Click here to view our full inclement weather policy. If you have questions about the status of a program, please email [email protected] or call the Visitor Center desk between 10:00am and 4:00pm at (617) 384-5209.
