BUGS! – a new creeping, crawling, flying
exhibit, now open at the High Desert Museum, is sure
to have you exclaiming, “Yuck!” “Cool!”
and, “Ooooo. Fascinating!”
Get within an antenna’s reach of multi-legged creepy
crawlies. Peer into a live ant farm. Catch the buzz of a
working beehive. Be serenaded by live crickets and cicadas.
Explore their worlds.
Learn why many of these creatures are in the High Desert.
Discover which bugs came west with immigrants on the Oregon
Trail. Examine a covered wagon model with horses and settlers,
as well as evidence of their traveling companions –
fleas, lice, weevils, maggots and more.
The exhibit runs through February 1 in the Museum's Brooks
Gallery.
