Bug out as thousands of specimens, dead and alive, hop, fly, buzz, or crawl to the Burke Museum for this favorite annual family event. Get eye-to-eye with giant walking sticks, examine bugs of all kinds from the Burke’s collections, and more!
Additional Bug Blast highlights:
• Check out an ant cam
• Look into a honeycomb with live bees
• Make a fun bug craft
• Touch live bugs – if you dare!
• Learn about bug-eating plants
Special this year: taste a buggy treat! David George Gordon, aka The Bug Chef, returns to Bug Blast with brand new recipes from his book, The Eat-a-Bug Cookbook, Revised: 40 Ways to Cook Crickets, Grasshoppers, Ants, Water Bugs, Spiders, Centipedes, and Their Kin. The Bug Chef will cook up tasty treats on the outdoor stage and sign his cookbook at the gift shop. Can you eat his curious cuisine? Of course you can!
This event is presented in partnership with SCARABS: The Bug Society.
