Mile High Bug Club

The Mile High Bug Club is a non-profit organization dedicated to conservation of Colorado insects, arachnids, and other arthropods. We aim to develop awareness and encourage interest in Colorado arthropods; and support the protection of these creatures and their environments.

In pursuit of these goals, we organize frequent fun and responsible educational experiences for all ages. This includes field trips, meetings, and other events for both club members and the general public.

Membership is free and open to all. Join the club today!
