Mentor Marsh Guided Nature Hike: Bug Hunt!

Bring your love of arthropods—plus your curiosity and imagination—as we hunt for all kinds of “bugs” around Mentor Marsh.

September is peak time for insect activity! We might be able to catch and tag some monarch butterflies, too! We’ll have containers to lend so you can try your hand at catching butterflies, bees, bugs, spiders, and more.
