Description
This special show features nature's darkest and most dangerous insects, arachnids and flesh-eating plants. Get a bug's eye-view and learn how these creatures are a vital part of our environment.
This year's show will provide a sneak peek into the Insectarium that is scheduled to open at the Botanic Garden in 2014. The new year-round exhibit will feature fascinating stories of bugs from all corners of the Earth.
Perfect for Halloween
Are you brave enough to come eye-to-eyes with a tarantula? With beetles, scorpions, cockroaches and more, this show is a great adventure for the Halloween season.This living exhibition will be wriggling, writhing, squirming and slithering in the Botanic Garden Showroom through Nov. 3.
