Come one come all!  Supervisors associated with MNA will be hosting an "office hours" style event where you can show up and ask questions.  Are you interested in how scheduling decisions are made?  Curious what drives the timing of seasonal staff hiring?  Intrigued by facilities and grounds maintenance decisions?  Feel free to bring your questions or just hang out and listen in to the conversation!

We will be learning how to pin beetles for display in this workshop!  Melody Hanssen, an insect taxidermist and owner of Micro Mayhem, will be leading this workshop.  Check out her work on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/micro_mayhem_melody/.  Participants will be educated on hydrating, pinning, drying, and displaying beetles.  You will go home with a pinned beetle that will need to finish drying before transferring., as well as a pinning board and display box.  Please note:  The beetles will be non-native species as MN native beetles are too expensive or too small to easily learn on.
