Day 1 at the Bug Fair.

We didn't have the overwhelming crowds from last year which was nice since we got to spend more time with each person answering their questions.



Here is Dawn educating the masses.


Anette showing how fascinating tarantulas can be.


Squeaky, everyone's favorite prop at the ATS table.
It has 2 squeakers on each leg and the kids went crazy squeezing them and making a lot of noise. We learned from last year and today it was kept out of reach




Other educational tables.








Some of the awesome vendors

Thanks for the pictures Abby. I so missed not getting to go this year.

Thanks for taking and posting the photos, Abby.
But wait: a major THANKS for all your help!!!! We couldn't have it done without you!
Dawn and Kay were my two other "sisters in arms" at the ATS table, and I would have been dead without those three.

According to the "official" numbers of the museum we had a similar number of visitors compared to last year. However, we decided against handling presentations for the sake of my spiders, which made the crowds in front of our table move more swiftly and allowed for more opportunities for us to answer "serious" questions.

All in all a great show.

It was good too see all our bug loving friends and we can't wait to see a lot of you again at the conference.

Looks and sounds like another great time. Thanks to all who helped.

Looks like it was great! Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Where was the bug fair anyways?

It was at the Natural History Museum in LA. Great place, and great event!
