Coming Up


Biology professor Steve Murphree will again offer school-aged children opportunities to explore the insect world by attending “Beetles, Bugs and Butterflies.” An introduction to the biology of insects and other arthropods, the courses will explore how they live, where they can be found and the potential benefit or harm they represent. Short field trips on the Belmont campus will be taken daily. Children are encouraged to bring in insects for discussion and materials such as field guides and collecting equipment will be provided. The cost for the children/grandchildren of Belmont faculty, staff and students will be $25.00 per child (this is the down payment amount for parents not associated with Belmont).
