Family Nature Club @ Ijams stalks the invertebrates



The Family Nature Club @ Ijams recently held their Invertebrates Workshop. We’re talking insects, spiders, millipedes, centipedes and their ilk. And it was a great afternoon, albeit a bit hot, to search for our quarry.

Here's a look back at some of our other outings, click: Aquatics and Birds.

We are now registering families for the 2017 Edition of Family Nature Club @ Ijams. For information call Lauren, (865) 577-4717, ext. 135.


Here's a look at the invertebrate fun.

Are Ijams centipedes really this big?
