Challenges and Rewards

Bug Hunters Rules

Rule #1: Find, Don’t Touch
Bug Hunters earn points by finding and identifying bugs, not catching them. Once you spot the bug and know what it is, you earn the points or stars.

Rule #2: No Double Counting
You can only earn points once for each species. Finding one anthill with 1,000 ants does not instantly make you a Bug Hunter. A whole colony of carpenter ants still counts as 5 points.

Rule #3: Match the Card
Some cards are general, and some are specific. If your card says Dragonfly, any kind of dragonfly counts. But if your card says White-Tailed Skimmer, you’ll need to find a White-Tailed Skimmer to earn the points.

Rule #4: Parents Make the Final Call
Parents are the judges of the hunt. If Mom or Dad says the bug counts, it counts. No arguing with the field judge!
