Webinar: Nature’s Zombies and Vampires

Ever wonder if real nature can be as creepy as a horror movie? This online session explores creatures and organisms that seem straight out of a spooky story. Julie, a Senior Director of Education and Curriculum, will guide families through the fascinating world of blood-feeding animals like ticks and lampreys, plus mind-controlling fungi that turn insects into actual zombies. It's a fun way to discover that nature's strangest behaviors are even more interesting than fiction. This free webinar runs for 45 minutes and takes place entirely online via Zoom—no need to leave home. Families can join together and enjoy learning about these remarkable (and yes, a bit creepy) creatures.
