USM – not too many details yet but we hope
to make another collecting trip to the Crosby
Arboretum and Dr. Guyton will probably do a flip
in the pitcher plants! If we are lucky we will
find some pitcher plant moths or their
caterpillars
This camp
is for adults and youth (over age 10)
who want to learn about insects from experts. The camp
will be taught by professors from the Entomology Department at
Mississippi State and will be educational and fun!!! We have a few new pieces of
equipment including some more lights for camp this year thanks
to our participation in forest insect training. This year we had
to increase camp costs to $225 per camper.
- Learn
how to collect, identify, and preserve insects!
- Learn
about unique critters you've never seen, yet they live
around you!
- Make
an insect collect with help from the experts!
4-H rules and guidelines apply.
The first

Crows Neck is in Tishomingo County in the NE corner of the
state. You can check out the facility and grounds at
