Don't Bug Me: (Playgroup)

Welcome to the world of creepy crawlers. Explore and observe critters like pill bugs, mega mealworms, earthworms, caterpillars, wax worms, and yes, even the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach. Take home bug glasses and see through an insect’s eyes. Wrap your body in an exoskeleton and understand why insects are a walking shield of armor. Like fireflies, make your own model firefly and make it glow in the dark. Make your own insect habitat, and explore what it’s really like living the life of a bug. All this and more, next creepy crawly session.
