Insects and their relatives infest the Academy on one special weekend every August.
The festivities vary each year, but popular and recurring attractions include:

• Spineless Wonders: Examine live stick insects, tarantulas, vinegaroons, and more. Touch them if you dare.
• Creepy Crawly Cuisine: Watch cooking demonstrations. Taste them if you dare.
• Bug Walk: Go outside with an entomologist and collect wild insects.
• Meet Real Entomologist: Talk with scientists from the Academy's Entomology Department and members of the American Entomological Society.
• Roach Race 500: Cheer your favorite cockroach on to victory and learn what makes it run.
