Live Insect Presentation

Live Insect Presentation depends on what types of insects are available, and what types of insects the presenter is willing to handle. Presenters generally try to bring as big an assortment if they can. Insects available to us are:

• Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches
• Death’s Head Cockroaches
• Walking Sticks
• Tobacco Hornworms
• Tarantula

Children are allowed to hold the insects. None of the insects brought to a presentation can sting, bite, or transmit disease. All insects have been reared inside a lab, so they are clean. The live insects presentation is probably the most popular and most memorable part of the presentation.

Ambassadors are also available for Children’s Programs or Science Booths
