Marion Natural History Museum23 viewsThe Marion Natural History Museum’s afterschool group had fun learning about insects on Wednesday. These little critters are ectothermic, and their body temperature is determined by their surrounding environment. Some are quite speedy and the Tiger beetle can run so fast they can’t see anything. We had a chance to go out and do some netting for bugs as well as looking under rocks, checking in bark and the bushes, and found an interesting variety.

Marion Natural History Museum35 viewsOn Wednesday, April 15, the Marion Natural History Museum's afterschool group had fun learning about the parts of a flower that produces pollen and the important role that pollinators play in our everyday lives. By dividing the group into three different types of insect species, Bees, Wasps, and Butterflies, the kids had fun playing a relay game to collect pollen. We then created flower seed "bombs" to take home and plant. Many thanks to museum volunteer Maggie Payne, monarch butterfly and pollinator enthusApr 22, 2026
