Bug Fest is a celebration of insects and their relatives. Designed for children of all ages, from 1 to 101, the mission of Bug Fest is to educate the public about a wide array of insect and spider biology. Guest lecturers will share their knowledge of butterflies, spiders, pest management, and other topics, plus there will be information tables on a variety of subjects, including pollinators, garden insects, forest pests, public health, and live insect displays. Activities will include insect safaris, insect crafts for kids and adults, mealworm races, cricket spitting, insect games, and more! A display of student art with an insect theme is also planned. Local artisans will also be on hand to sell their insect-related items.
