Carolyn’s note: What is this fascination with insects and bugs? Went to this event 2 years ago and it was standing room only (plus more). I did try to eat a few insects at the tasting table, but wasn’t convinced to give up dessert. Check it out with your budding entomologist kids. I can proud to said that one of my best friends is an Entomologist.
