About the Insect Discovery Lab:
Insect Discovery Lab is the most successful educational outreach program nationwide, teaching and impacting over 100,000 children since 1999 with our little green BugMobile. We teach about the ecological importance of local and tropical arthropods by bringing live, exotic insects into the classroom for a unique, hands-on experience. During the 2007-08 school year, nearly 22,000 PreK-6th, middle, and high school students met our millipedes, beetles, roaches, and others and learned about their endangered habitats.
As an outreach program of SaveNature.org, we are committed to raising awareness of the importance of environmental conservation across the United States and around the world. One of our goals is to nurture environmental literacy-to create a population of young people whose approach to their environment reflects responsibility, leadership, stewardship, commitment, and joy for the natural world. We are excited to help lead the next generation of environmental heroes!
