4‐H Entomology New Macrophotography Op on

This year we have a new op on for the 4‐H Entomology insect collec on project. Although the "regular" physical insect collec on project will con nue, we now have rules and guidelines for a "virtual" first‐year insect collec on using simple 

macrophotography. This will hopefully open up the project for youth who do not want to kill insects and those who would like to learn about the natural world and photography at the same me. 

 

If you are interested in this project please contact Diane Kelley for project rules and guidelines.
