A cicada's buzz is a sound of summer! Come learn about the insects behind all that noise.

Join us for a wildlife talk led by a ranger and learn all about the insects responsible for one of the most recognizable sounds of summer. It's hot, so we will limit the talk to about 10 minutes. After the talk you will have the opportunity to check out our insect collection or explore the area to see what insects you can find!
