Get ready for a spook-tacular adventure with our Parent and Me: Bug Expedition – Web Walk workshop—just in time for Halloween! This time, we’re focusing on spiders and their incredible webs, perfect for the season of all things spooky. Every fall, these eight-legged architects get busy weaving intricate webs of all shapes and sizes. Some, like the orb weavers, spin large webs that can stretch up to three feet wide! And if you’re lucky, you might spot a trashline orb weaver, cleverly camouflaged by pieces of debris in its web. Join us Friday, October 18 from 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. for our Parent and Me: Bug Expedition to learn more about how they make their webs.
Our Parent and Me: Bug Expedition workshops are designed to spark curiosity in junior entomologists as they explore the fascinating world of bugs. Bugs play an essential role in our ecosystem—pollinating plants, aerating soil, breaking down waste, and maintaining environmental balance. During this hands-on workshop, children will create their own bug identification guides, which they can use at South Coast Botanic Garden or even in their own backyard! Equipped with magnifying glasses, notebooks, pencils, and crayons (all supplies provided), participants will record their observations as they embark on this exciting exploration. And don’t worry—rain or shine, the expedition will go on!
Join us to foster a love for insects and inspire the next generation of bug enthusiasts while celebrating the magic of spiders this Halloween season!
