From carnivorous plants and tarantulas, to caterpillars, mounted butterflies, and much more, the annual Bug Fair at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, held this year on the weekend of May 20-21, is an insect lovers delight. I try to go every year. Art and I spent the morning at the museum browsing the vendor booths and oohing and aahing at the spectacular displays, along with families with children and eager buyers adding to their own insect collections.
When we finished we exited through the dinosaur galleries where we could look through the windows at the butterfly house outside below and see gorgeous live blue morpho butterflies fluttering among the plants. Tickets for the butterfly house were sold out so we didn't visit today, but I have enjoyed visiting before.
