Minnesota Bugs Series™: A Natural History Legacy of Minnesota’s Insect Life
Rochester, MN — The Minnesota Bugs Series™ offers a unique, four-volume hardcover collection exploring the fascinating insect life across Minnesota’s seasons. These volumes document real insect species on location, bringing to life the vibrant ecosystems found in Rochester and southeast Minnesota.
The Winter Bugs! book was shot and filmed in the historic ghost town of Beaver, Minnesota, a section of the Whitewater Management Area and featured in the larger Walk The Burn documentary. This special 20th Anniversary Edition will be released on January 1, 2026, showcasing over 200 winter-active insect species thriving in a recovering landscape after controlled burns.
The other three books — Spring Bugs!, Summer Bugs!, and Fall Bugs! — were shot and filmed exclusively in Olmsted County, Minnesota, within Lisa’s private wildlife sanctuary. This sanctuary offers a treasure trove of natural history, providing an authentic and diverse backdrop for the rich seasonal insect life documented in these volumes.
Each year, Whitewater State Park attracts over 300,000 visitors, many of whom pass through the Whitewater River Valley on their way to the Mississippi River. This makes the Minnesota Bugs Series™ an invaluable resource for locals and visitors interested in discovering the six- and eight-legged neighbors of this beautiful natural landscape.
The complete four-volume set will be available on February 10, 2026, for $240.00. Each volume features an authentic signed art print, complemented by exclusive loose art and Photo Traders™ art cards, sold solely through the Lisa Loucks-Christenson Network.
