Join like-minded people who share your scientific curiosity. NHSM currently sponsors 3 clubs: Fossils, Herpetology (reptiles and amphibians), and Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths). Participants of all ages and knowledge levels are welcome. Club meetings are a great way to socialize while observing specimens and digging deeper into an aspect of natural history. Meetings usually include special presentations by notable researchers.
