APRIL FIRST SATURDAY OPEN HOUSE
All About Bugs!

The Wagner's Entomology Collection boasts a lot of bugs: iridescent beetles, pinned butterflies, millipedes in ethanol, and more—with a significant selection collected right here in Philadelphia. At this First Saturday Open House visitors will learn about insect behavior and eating habits, learn tricks for capturing bugs in the wild, and discover different techniques for insect preservation. With the help of an entomologist, folks will also get the chance to pin their own insect specimen to take home with them.
