Bugs in Our Lives

Learn all about those miniature creatures that share your life everyday and take your picture with the giant praying Mantis! When you step into the world of bugs, you learn the secrets of pollination, study the working honey bee hive, and watch slugs and millipedes busily helping vegetation to decompose! Listen to a chorus of bugs in a summer field while discovering the life cycle of insects in a pond. Learn about the food chain of a stream and what defines an insect versus other bugs. Explore the bughouse kitchen inside and out to find unwanted--and beneficial--bugs crawling around inside! 'Bugs in our Lives' is an exciting blend of live invertebrates, hands-on activities, beautiful murals and a real kitchen combined to make this exhibit fun and educational for all!
