Insect Zoo Sometimes they have six legs, sometimes they have eight, but most of the time, you just want to get away from them. We're talking about creepy crawlies. That's right: insects and spiders. Good news…now it's our turn to go to their house and visit. Rest assured however, that all of the residents are safely encased in glass tanks or cages. That alone makes being up close to them rather intriguing. Take a tour with a professional bug-rustler, or entomologist, and see displays and exhibits filled with cockroaches, spiders, flies, and a variety of other insects. You'll hear a detailed explanation of a variety of ways in which insects benefit the world around us, including crafts made from bugs! You will even have an opportunity to feed a Tarantula! The tour will leave you a little wiser to the beneficial aspects of our smaller friends and maybe even a touch attached to some of them. Don't worry though…the staff will make sure no one "accidentally" goes home with you. 1901 Ridgetop Road 410-396-0808 |
