WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

By the end of this course you should be able to pick up a common insect (a feat in itself for some people) and tell your friends what kind of bug it is, how it moves, how it eats and digests its food, why it looks the way it does, where it usually lives, whether it is harmful to people or animals, how its controlled if it is a pest, and how it and other insects impact our lives. Pretty cool for a bug class.
