FAQ - Badges, Challenges, and Submissions

What if my child can’t find one of the bugs?

No worries! They can submit a drawing, an “honor sighting,” or wait for the bug to appear later in the season. There is no deadline to send in your completed challenge cards.

How many badges are there?

We currently have 36 bug badges, and growing!

How does my child earn the badges?

Kids complete each insect challenge by spotting the insect in the wild (or submitting a drawing or “honor sighting” for younger kids).

Use the included prepaid envelope to mail us the completed card(s). You will then receive your badges in the next shipment (we also return your completed challenge cards).
