At 15.00 – “AVVENTURA NEL MONDO DEGLI INSETTI: GLI INSETTI CHE NON TI ASPETTI” | by Francesca Rocci
We’ll discover the amazing world of insects to learn about them and not be afraid of them. We’ll observe the pollinators that help plants grow up close and learn which flowers they prefer. With magnifying glasses, nets, and jars, you’ll become little entomologists, ready to study without harming anyone. An adventure among leaves and flowers to discover the wonders hidden beneath our feet.
