Bugs and Beer

Who likes bugs and beer with a side of edible insects? Lots of people, as it turns out. So many people showed up for the Bugs and Beer event at the Butterfly Pavilion last night that the brews and munchies ran low. That didn't stop everyone from enjoying beautiful butterflies, cockroach races and conversation about insects as a protein-packed food source. Talk about a beer crawl!
