Bug Museum

OK, this fell in with a post on my other blog, so I'm just copying and pasting.

"Since I had missed my planned trip to the Bug Safari, I hopped a bus and made a visit. It was a cool little zoo, very professionally maintained and fancy. It lacked, however, the thing that made the Victoria Bug Museum so cool: hands-on interaction. The fancy, climate controlled, padlocked (?) terrariums were not opened, and even when I specifically asked if I could hold some tarantulas, scorpions, or giant stick bugs, I was told “no.” They don’t do that. Bummer. On the bright side, the goliath bird eating tarantulas were much larger than those in Victoria. The bigger one could have taken down a deer, I think."

Also available is my Yelp! review.


No pics...terrible lighting and glass tanks, along with the fact that I was stuck with the pocket camera, made for terrible photos.
