Jurassic Bugs

Date: 
Wed, 2010-09-08

Enormous, ancient creatures have invaded the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House this year! See life‑size replicas of prehistoric arthropods,  explore displays of their living relatives and learn about how these animals have changed over millions of years when the Jurassic Bugs exhibition crawls into town through Sunday, Oct. 3.
Fossil records indicate that some animals were enormous as compared to today’s specimens. Encounter five of these oversized species taking up temporary residence inside the central exhibit hallway. See these along with living beetles, roaches, tarantulas, spiders, scorpions and other insects and arachnids. Compare these smaller creatures of today to their larger prehistoric relatives to learn how they have evolved over eons.

9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Closed Mondays. Admission to Jurassic Bugs is included with Butterfly House admission
Adults: $6
Seniors (65+): $4.50
Children (3-12): $4
Children ages 2 and under are free.
