![[Summer vacation free research help team] Insect Zanmai DAY! Semi-hake on the & NIGHT walk! 1](https://d1m4o4z7q117k1.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/c8285d629f3a64ef3732f4015ace24bd-1120x672.jpg)
\ Summer vacation free research at metsä, which is rich in nature! /
At metsä, you can meet various creatures in a forest and lake location.
Limited to summer, the [Free Research Help Corps] has been launched, where you can spend a whole day working on research with a living creature professional!
[Daytime] Fieldwork, sketching, and making specimens are full of insects!
You can rediscover the structure of the body and the role of each part by carefully observing familiar insects that you often see in everyday life.
The program includes making specimens, sketching, and playing in nature, so you can experience both fieldwork and lectures.
[Night part] Cicada life and night walk Aim for cicada doctor!
By observing the cicadas that come out to emerge on summer nights, we learn that insects are actively moving at night, and through the cicadas we provide an opportunity to develop an interest in the night forest.
The program also includes making specimens, how to distinguish between males and females, natural predators of cicadas, and observing Higurashi's calls.
This time, we are making specimens of cast-off cicada shells, which requires a little more effort than normal specimen-making.
