Over one million species. Only one Bug Fair.

Come to NHM on May 16 & 17 for the 40th annual Bug Fair, our two-day festival celebrating our bug-eyed and multi-legged friends! Experience up-close encounters with crawly creatures, learn all about the immense biodiversity of insects, get hands-on and crafty, and so much more! Also while you’re there, be sure to visit a variety of exhibitors who will be displaying and selling everything from exotic insect collections to amazing bug-related products.
