The World of Giant Insects June 22, 2010

On display in the zoo's Dr. Wilde's World, this exhibit will provide eye-opening insight into the anatomy and behavior of insects we encounter regularly. These animated robotic insects, enlarged 40 to 600 times their actual size, will afford visitors a new up-close perspective on these important creatures. Interactive displays with mosquitoes, honeybee, and dragonfly enlarged 600, 200 and 80 times their size respectively will further thrill and engage adults and children alike. In addition, laboratory, "backyard jungle" components and signage will enable everyone to learn in more detail about these fascinating creatures.
