The supersized bug exhibits includes 13 enormous, animatronic bugs and insects including a devil’s flower mantis, emperor scorpion, Mexican redknee tarantula, and a Madagascar sunset moth.

Guests will get a chance to ‘shrink down’ and see the world from the bug's perspective while learning all about the role they play in our ecosystem.

Bugtopia is included in zoo admission and will be open through the end of April.
