Ants & Insects
t this fascinating display of live ant cities and more, kids find out just how much these tiny critters impact our world. Four species of ants, which are common in the Los Angeles Basin, will be on display: Red Imported Fire Ants, Harvester Ants, Argentine Ants and Big-headed Ants. There are other insects, too - the kind that bite us, eat our food, even ones that can eat a house! Students will learn how to identify the ants, study their life cycles and even gain knowledge about their medical and economic importance.

The L.A. County Agricultural Commissioner/Weights & Measures Department has been protecting the consumer and the environment since 1881. The organization also provides useful information about controlling pests in your home or garden.
