The Museum will once again be crawling with bugs Saturday, May 17 and Sunday May 18, 2008! Be sure not to miss the 22nd Annual Bug Fair – North America’s largest. Explore the world of insects and their arthropod relatives. See live spiders and scorpions, start your own collection of butterflies and stay for some great cooking tips from two world-renowned insect chefs. Over 60 vendors will be on hand with books, entomological equipment and supplies, artwork, toys, clothing and more! A variety of private collections will be offered for sale, along with an assortment of live bugs. The Los Angeles Urban Spider Survey enters its sixth year and we once again urge patrons to bring in any spider that they collect*. The Bug Fair is included with Museum admission.

*The Museum appreciates your assistance with the Spider Survey. If you have any concerns about participating, we suggest you DO NOT participate. The Museum cannot be responsible for the treatment of any bites or any illness resulting from the project.
