🎬 June Is Packed with New Missions, Mysteries, and Critters at DVEC! 🕵️♂️🔍
Get ready for an exciting month of learning, investigation, and hands-on discovery at the Disease Vector Education Center!
This June, we’re continuing our newly expanded Crazy Science program with Classified Critters, taking guests on a journey through the fascinating world of arthropod classification. From beginner bug detectives to advanced entomology operatives, there’s a level for every age group.
Looking for an extra challenge? Try our Monthly Missions! Continue your classification training with Classified Critters activities after each Crazy Science program, or put your detective skills to the test with our all-new Weekend Whodunits, where a new mystery awaits investigation each month.
Our Feature Creature programs return with some incredible arthropods:
🕷 Ursula the Pink-Toe Tarantula
🦂 Kuzco the Emperor Scorpion
🪳 The Hissers, our Madagascar Hissing Roaches
Join us for Vector Cravings, where we’ll take a closer look at Culex quinquefasciatus and its connection to West Nile virus. During our live mosquito attraction demonstration, we’ll discover what makes someone a bigger mosquito magnet and explore the factors that can make mosquitoes prefer one person over another, while busting common myths along the way. We’ll also share practical tips to help reduce mosquito bites and protect yourself throughout mosquito season.
Whether you’re solving mysteries, meeting live arthropods, learning scientific classification, or exploring mosquito-borne diseases, June is full of opportunities to discover something new.
We look forward to seeing you at DVEC as we continue learning and protecting our community together!
