Marvel at a larger-than-life world where you learn about bugs—from bugs—and experience their unbelievable capabilities.

Alert the hive! Bugs, a cinematic, immersive exhibition that makes the world under your feet larger-than-life, is on view now at Frost Science. Highlighting the biology and evolution of bugs, and how their abilities inspire advances in engineering and nanotechnology, Bugs explores the science of these amazing tiny animals.

As you buzz through this stunning exhibition, you’ll meet six bug ambassadors, each hundreds of times larger than they are in real life. Step into the bug-bassador’s chambers to immerse yourself in their world and experience life through their senses. Discover bugs’ superpowers through hands-on, interactive activities, like navigating an orchid mantis’s secret garden and watching a jewel wasp perform “brain surgery” on its prey.

Whether you are being ambushed by an orchid mantis, protecting your hive from an invader, or examining the detailed physics of dragonfly flight, Bugs will transport you into a hidden world where reality is truly stranger than fiction.

Standout exhibition features include:

Four immersive theaters that put you at the center of dramatic scenes from a bugs life
Scientific displays that highlight how the study of bugs has driven technological innovation
Hands-on activities that allow you to see how their talents measure up against insects’ extraordinary capabilities
