In this organization, we meet weekly during semester hours. During club meetings we talk about insects, arachnids, and other "bug-like" arthropods. We bring in live bugs, take pictures of bugs, and share information about bugs. We have "Bug of the month". We will learn about such bug of the month. Learn to handle them. Some examples of activities we will be doing is insect pinning, drawing, crafts, movie watching, group discussions, and best of all- anything to do with bugs! You do not have to be comfortable with bugs, or even in love with them, if you have a passion for bugs that is all we are looking for to create our bug family. If you find a passion for bugs, want to talk about bugs, and /or want to hang out with friends who have the same quirky interest as you then come join us!
