High school students at the Hemet Student Centers enjoyed a hands-on entomology presentation. Graduate students from UC Riverside’s entomology department visited the school with stick bugs, large cockroaches, and tarantulas, some of which the students were able to handle.
Science teacher April Holemo organized the event, she said, because she wanted the students to have the opportunity “to learn about insects and to spark their interest in entomology. They also learned that there were many good career opportunities for students who study entomology.”
