Insects in Winter

Insects are always around us, but most are only noticed when they annoy us. In the winter, these foundational and fascinating creatures become even more elusive. In this program, we will learn what insects are, why they are important, and where they go in winter. Walk the trails at the Boston Nature Center in search of active and overwintering insects, as well as the signs they leave behind. Join this leisurely nature walk to learn why there's so much more to insects than meets the eye.

Led by native bee enthusiast, Kalimah Mustafa-Widberg (she/they). Kalimah has been sharing their love of bees by educating the public since 2014 when a bee research project sparked a passion that has lasted nearly a decade! While she truly loves all insects, she is especially interested in the foraging and nesting preferences of the at-risk bees native to Northeastern United States.
