As the largest group of animals on earth, and one that strongly affects humans, insects invite closer study by all who are interested in the living world. This course provides hands-on experience in learning to find insects, to identify them, and to recognize evolutionary and ecological patterns in their sometimes bewildering abundance and diversity. Sight recognition of the major orders and families, basic field and laboratory procedures, and visits to a representative selection of insect habitats in Marin. (CSU)
