Hands-on adventures in the world of bugs return to the Victor Valley Museum during Insectival on Saturday, Aug. 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Explore the fascinating world of arthropods—insects, spiders, centipedes, butterflies, and more. Family fun activities include insect games, take-home creepy-crawly craft creations, Believe It Or Not bug trivia, live insects, and insect stories and activities. Cockroach races, All About Bugs, and Read-a-Bug adventures are included as special presentations.
“The Victor Valley Museum’s Insectival is a special educational experience that will spark curiosity and excitement about the world of bugs,” said Melissa Russo, director of the San Bernardino County Museum system, which includes the Victor Valley Museum. “This family-friendly event is packed with interactive and hands-on activities that promote an awareness of the importance and value of insects as part of our ecosystem.”
“Insectival! and the County Museum’s other exciting events and exhibits reflect the effort by the Board of Supervisors to achieve the Countywide Vision by celebrating arts, culture, and education in the county, creating quality of life for residents and visitors.”
