Bug Lab

We went to Discovery Place this rainy weekend to visit the Bug Lab Exhibit.  It was amazing!!  There were huge walk-through displays for four different bugs where you could learn about their eating habits, survival skills and abilities.  We learned about different bug venom and how it is helpful to human life.  There was a slide through the intestine of a dung beetle on which Harper spent about an hour playing.  Who ever knew bugs could be so interesting?!
  
Harper had been to the Bug Lab before with Alex so she was excited to show me around.
   
This exhibit had an awesome zoetrope to see a 3D animation of the flight of the dragonfly.
  
The orchid mantis was beautiful!

There was a display asking kids to write which bug they would like to be.  Harper's answer was, "A red one!"  We put it on the magnet wall.
      
We did a lot of learning!
