So it is that time of the year when we get to meet and greet all the creepy crawlies. Yes that is what we call Bug Fair. This weekend The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles will be hosting their 27th annual bug fair duly titled The year of the bee. Come and explore what vendors have to offer all the while learning about what we, as citizen scientist can do to help. This is my 4th year attending bug fair as a volunteer and I love going back each and every year.
One of the benefits of going to Bug fair is that I get to try many things that I have not tried out before. They have a bug chef competition and at first I was hesitant because who really likes to eat bugs, but I was convinced to try it out and I have not regretted it since. Yes you might be thinking, eww that wont be me, but think about it this way where else can you try food made by some great chefs with a little added extras? By the time you are eating these wonderful creations, you will forget that it was made with either insects or arachnids. So come on by and you never know what you might discover.
Bug Fair is this weekend running from May 18-19 at regular museum hours. I would highly recommend to purchase your tickets online so you wont have to wait in line. Also the Butterfly pavilion is open and if you plan on going to that, purchase your tickets early because they will sell out. http://www.nhm.org/site/activities-programs/bug-fair
