About the class

It’s summertime, which means lots of outdoor fun–and lots of outdoor creepy-crawlies known for their bites and stings. So join wildlife adventurer Coyote Peterson, who has been bitten and stung by them all, to learn how and why the insects in your yard sink their teeth or stingers into skin. You’ll explore the backyard biology of bees, wasps, hornets, fire ants, and more; get Coyote’s take on the most powerful and painful insect experiences; and learn how to appreciate these amazing animals and avoid their wrath.
