Science Department Introduces Insect Hotels

Frequently mentioned during climate change discussions, the rapid decrease in insect populations is an alarm bell for the future of Earth’s biodiversity. One way to support local insect populations while increasing student awareness is building insect hotels!
 
This project encourages students to research the insects that live around them, engineer a solution, and interact with organisms. Hopefully, students in all divisions will take some time over spring break to collect supplies and build an insect hotel that can help support our local environment!

If students are interested in participating, here are two articles that can be of help as resources from The Entomologist Lounge and University of Michigan – Dearborn Environmental Interpretive Center.
