The goal of this class is to become more familiar with insect populations in the garden and to encourage learners to observe these types of insect predator-prey interactions in their yard or community.

There is no homework assigned for this course.

There will be informal assessment activities within the course in the form of insect identification games.

30 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

There are some photos and videos of predator-prey interactions. This may include a larva consuming another insect.
