Get ready for a month of investigations, insect intel, and scientific discovery at the Disease Vector Education Center. Beginning May 14 at 11:30 AM, our brand-new Crazy Science series, “Classified Critters,” will take guests through the fascinating world of classification, taxonomy, and arthropod diversity through age-based mission levels. From Arthropods 101 to advanced entomology operations, each session builds on the science of how we organize and identify living things, with a special focus on insects, mosquitoes, and other disease vectors.
Also happening this month:
• Classified Critters Missions available Wednesdays–Fridays following our 11:30 AM showings, check the showtime dates for the lessons on this flyer.
• Weekend Whodunits available Saturdays and Sundays, where agents can solve a mysterious case file centered around that month’s featured disease vector
• Feature Creature spotlight showings at 11:30 AM check the flyer for the dates.
• Vector Cravings: Tick Edition featuring Lyme disease awareness
Join us as we investigate the science behind the natural world and uncover how classification helps scientists better understand mosquitoes, vectors, and the incredible diversity of arthropods around us.
