On the way down to the waterfront, we spotted something called the
Seattle Bug Safari. It
was essentially an insect museum, maintained by a single guy that really
enjoyed doing this kind of thing. It was a little expensive for $7
per person, but I enjoy looking at this kind of thing, so it was worth
checking out. Here's a taste of what they've got.
BTW, to Danny (my brother the entomologist): I wouldn't call it a bug
museum if it wasn't the name.

Seattle Bug Safari
The sign outside was a pretty good inducement to come in.
|
Dung Beetle
Not really doing anything, though. He needed props.
|
Scorpion
One of those creatures I feel an irrational fear of, it's still a pretty thing.
|
Big Insect
I don't recognize this off-hand; I should have taken pictures of the labels. But they're *big*!

Egg Sack
I believe that a few thousand praying mantises were supposed to come out of that thing later.
|
Hidden Tarantula
He's there, just hard to get a picture of.
