Fun and Educational! Kids won’t even realize how much they are learning.
This fun, educational and hands-on tour is for people of all ages. Learn about the importance, beauty and diversity of these special and amazing insects. We help a lot of people overcome their fears about these misunderstood creatures in a fun and interesting way. This casual, small-group program ensures that everyone hears and sees it all – and touches a bug (if they want).
Workshops typically last about 45 minutes and includes:
- General info about insects
- Reasons why insects are good
- Reasons why not all insects are good
- Ways that insects survive in a world full of predators
- Ways insects communicate with one another
- Live insect presentation
Your Bug Expert will present several LIVE insects:
- Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches
- Stick Bug
- Tarantula
- Preying Mantis
Children are allowed to hold many of these insects. None of the insects at the presentation sting, bite, or transmit disease. All insects have been reared inside a lab, so they are clean. We do have hand sanitizer at the exit of the museum.
