Sunset Moth Pinning Workshop

Explore amazing arthropods from an evolutionary perspective with a hands-on look at an impressive species! Utilizing sustainably sourced specimens, students will learn about arthropod development and anatomy by preparing and preserving a sunset moth specimen of their own. Each student will receive a set of illustrated instructions , tools, and their own pinned specimen to dry and later display at home. With new found knowledge, students can explore the museum's arthropod gallery to observe the many nuances of Earth's invertebrate species.

This is a fun, engaging activities that can be enjoyed by all ages! However we ask that those under age 13 must be accompanied by an adult chaperone who can work with the child (at no additional charge). If chaperones wish to complete their own project, a second spot must be purchased.
