An Evening of Entomology at the UI Research Park Amphitheatre "Step into a world that until now you've only just stepped on!"
Families and friends are invited to share an evening with the insects, brought to you by the scientists of the Illinois Natural History Survey and the Fox Development Corporation. The evening begins with Insect Theatre, a unique production of music, dance, puppets, and giant insects, that answers the question, What is an Insect?, delves into the Mysteries of Metamorphosis, and explores the Bug-Eat-Bug World of the Food Chain.
In addition:
- the INHS Mobile Science Center will be available for tours of its Arthropods Across Illinois exhibit.
- an Ask the Expert Booth will answer all your entomological questions.
- giant insect models will take you into the fascinating realm of insect form and function.
- learn about how to perfect the art of fly-tying for that next fishing trip.
- get a fun insect tattoo.
- bring your camera and photograph your child with their favorite insect character!
Come join us on Saturday, September 22 from 4-7 pm at the U of I Research Park, corner of First Street and St. Mary's Road, Champaign. Free Parking in Research Park lots.
Admission is free.
