RUMFORD – Having already conquered our planet’s land, sea and air, several of the millions of species of arthropods worldwide, will take on the Rumford Library at 3 p.m. Thursday, July 17.
That’s when the Chewonki Foundation’s Traveling Natural History Lesson, The BugMobile, arrives for a 60-minute foray. Children attending the program will be introduced to the unique characteristics of the five major groups of arthropods through the use of models, activities and live specimens.
Arthropods are invertebrate animals that have jointed limbs, segmented bodies, and an exoskeleton made of chitin. The BugMobile features the world of arthropods – insects and their relatives.
The program will explore some of the fascinating adaptations essential for survival such as mimicry, camouflage, armor and the use of venom.
