This event is a National Geographic Live Student Matinee, open to public and private schools. Click here to learn more and to find out how to register.

In addition to his award-winning photography and discovery of new insect species, ecologist Mark Moffett’s unique gift is storytelling. Life in the undergrowth and treetops—including dancing Brazilian frogs, alien-looking praying mantises, and swarms of blood-thirsty army ants—is the subject of Moffett’s fascinating stories from his adventures all over the world.

This brilliant and intrepid ecologist, known as “Dr. Bugs,” uses humor to open students’ eyes to the small wonders of the natural world. (Recommended for grades 2–6)

Registration is now open. Seats are limited so register early! Registrations will not be taken over the phone.
