We are looking for a college student/young adult that wants to work with our Entomologist in our two story Butterfly House. You will learn all about Butterflies and how to care for them. You will take part in feeding, general care of the animals as well as learn to give tours and answer general questions. You will interact with the public and also work behind the scenes in our "bug lab". We are looking for someone who has a general interest in Entomology, experience with butterflies is not necessary (willingness to learn about them is). A comitment of at least 10 hours a week, but prefer 15-20 hours for the term of three months is required of this intern. We will work with your school if you are wanting this internship to count for credit. If you are interested in applying please send a resume to Jennifer Hoffman, Director of Outreach at: jhoffman@texasdiscoverygardens.org .
