Lincoln, Neb. — “BugFest,” the annual open house for the University of Nebraska­­–Lincoln’s Department of Entomology, is 1 to 4 p.m., Sept. 30 in Entomology Hall on East Campus.

The event is free and open to the public.

This year’s BugFest will feature the Henry Doorly Zoo tiger beetle rearing program, scientific illustration, the secret life of flies, life in a dung pat and insects in art.

Guests will be able to see the insects of Nebraska, bees in their hives, the bed bug roadshow, insect open heart surgery, and take photos riding a Bronco Bug. The event is a great opportunity to learn from students, faculty and staff in the Department of Entomology. Insect fans of all ages are welcome.
