Bug Day at the Randall on April 26

BUG DAY, SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Bug Day is coming again! Join the Randall Museum for a festival of everything insects!
Learn about these marvelous creatures on one of the Randall's favorite Family Days.
 See live exotic insects, view insects through microscopes, learn about the language
of insects, watch beekeepers at work, compete in our Insect Olympics, and perhaps
even eat a bug or two.  Insects are the earth's most prolific creatures. Many insects
are beneficial to humans.  Honeybees pollinate over one third of our food. Insects
are also a source of food protein in many parts of the world. The silk worm has 
been integral to human history for its silk production. Wood roaches are major recyclers
in the rainforests.  Join us for this fun adventure into the bug world. For more
 information, visitwww.randallmuseum.org/bugday [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001AeoEA5lsKCoA9vMVm5FbcTGV8YKQBqSklwjDjK584ZhFoNFdeErZ9JnIinzYCsTuOYHUVKcnXSSL-VklUegSJ1I9-VigQbjRpB8hSo-kpbTOEjjP4FKor181frp3MEv2SVeKrTuwlcg=]
