Magnifying the World of Arthropods. Is a bug an insect? Is a spider a bug? Using models, costumes, and live specimens, Chewonki’s staff will explain the unique characteristics of four major groups of arthropods at The Lincoln Home. Their live “bug” species will introduce you to some of the fascinating adaptations essential for survival, such as mimicry, camouflage, armor, and the use of venom. We welcome all ages to join us on Monday, Sept. 17, from 3 to 4 p.m.

The event is free. The Lincoln Home is located at 22 River Road, Newcastle. For more information, contact Rhonda Hanna, 563-3350, or rhonda@lincoln-home.org. Keep informed on our weekly events at www.lincoln-home.org or follow us on Facebook.
