As Halloween approaches, bats are common images that may evoke feelings of fear and curiosity. They aren't blind, dirty or pests. They are, however, critical to many ecosystems and the only true flying mammal. They pollinate plants, distribute seeds, can eat thousands of insects daily, and serve as prey to other animals. Their unique features continue to inspire scientific discoveries, like their membrane wings and echolocation have inspired technological advances in engineering. Learn more about Illinois bats, current research and Citizen Science opportunities.

According to Mexican legend, a poor young girl named Pepita brought a bouquet of weeds to gift the baby Jesus. As she knelt by His manger the weeds suddenly burst into bright red flowers, thereafter known as “Flores de Noche Buena,“ or Flowers of the Holy Night. We know them as the poinsettia and will be using acrylic paints to create our own 11 x 14 masterpiece. Join us as we learn about the relationship of complementary colors in this fun and educational painting class.
