DESCRIPTION:Did you know that dragonflies start their lives underwater, have been called "mosquito hawks", do not sting, and have some of the most amazing behaviors and color patterns? Broome County is home to over 100 species of dragonflies and damselflies. Our program will start with a dragonfly overview, including a look at their incredible life cycle. We will explore some amazing adaptations and have an opportunity to view live adult dragonflies and their aquatic young (nymphs). We will show you how to catch, hold, and release dragonflies unharmed as a lead in to the second half of the program. Participants will have an opportunity to try their hand at catching adult dragonflies and damselflies, viewing "up close and personal" before releasing them. Note: Touching or holding these insects is not a requirement for the program.Open to all ages including adults, but the program is best for children at least 5 years old and older. All participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.Registration is free but required, and please register all members of your group separately.Presented in partnership with Broome County Parks.
