17th Annual Bug Fair

Saturday, May 31 & Sunday, June 1 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

If you aren't too squeamish you might consider heading out to this event.
Learn everything you always wanted to know (or not) about insects.

From the museum web site...

At North America's largest Bug Fair (formerly the Insect Fair) you'll
find out all about the world of insects and their arthropod relatives. Hold
a live scorpion, start your own collection of butterflies, or get some great
cooking tips from Insect Chef David George Gordon.

Well over 50 vendors will be on hand with books, entomological equipment
and supplies, artwork, toys and clothing items. Private collections will be
for sale, along with live bugs and spiders, too!

The Los Angeles Urban Spider Survey that started last year at the Bug Fair
continues during the fair this year. Safely collect a spider and bring it
in.*

The Bug Fair is included with Museum admission. Prices are $8 for adults,
$2 for children 5 - 12 and $5.50 for seniors and students. Children under 5
are free.
