This year’s bat fest theme is “Backyard Bugs and Bats”, and what better way to celebrate it than a t-shirt designed by a local artist @smilingsnakeshirts! 🦇🐞🐛

Featured in this design is a Big Brown Bat hunting a White-lined Sphinx Moth over a patch of Common Milkweed–all species that you may find in your backyard! What other bats and bugs can you think of that you may have seen in your backyard? 🕵

Shirts will be sold on-site at the 2026 Central Illinois Bat Fest, September 26. More information about the fest through the link in our bio! 👕 #CentralIllinoisBatFest

Your major can literally take you places 🇮🇪

NRES student Paulina Ornatsky traveled to Ireland in May to study its unique wetlands up close. No matter what you're studying or where you want to go, there's an ACES study abroad program for you. A group of University of Illinois College of ACES students poses with an orange ACES flag outdoors on a sunny day at the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland, with dramatic green ocean cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean in the background.
