Ice Age Insects at the Tar Pits!
What do we know about insect life during the Ice-Age? And how might it have changed? In the Page Museum's first-ever citizen science survey, we'll try to answer those questions by collecting insects and other invertebrates in the Pleistocene Garden, atrium and Hancock Park with Entomology Curator Brian Brown.
Join in on fascinating discussions of insect and invertebrate life, and even learn how to hone your skills as an urban wildlife observer in your neighborhood during this Free event.
Saturday, December 4 12 pm - 2 pm Space is limited, sign up today.
Contact Anna Holden at aholden@tarpits.org to reserve your space.

How will you and your family tackle a high-tech scavenger hunt at the La Brea Tar Pits? Find out at the annual Ice Age Urban Adventure, where you'll find yourself in a sticky situation — and we're not talking about the asphalt seeps. The Adventure requires a keen eye for the weird, the beautiful and the faintly out-of-the-ordinary.
The Ice Age Urban Adventure is a fun-filled event in which guests search for secret clues, complete obstacle courses and answer trivia questions.
