Six seats available. All ages welcome. No experience necessary.

Learn to prepare and spread for display one Peruvian giant cicada specimen to keep. These specimens are the largest cicada native to the Americas!

All tools are included and are yours to keep as well, and the workshop includes follow-up information so you can frame and display your specimen at home and repeat the process with other specimens using your tool kit — just in time for Chicago’s cicada season!

Please bring a bag or box to transport your spread specimen home. More information will be included in the introductory email sent before your class.
