Madagascar hissing cockroaches!

Millipede munching on some cucumber!

Emerald flower beetles, also muching on some cucumber!

It was hard to get decent pics of bugs as a lot of the terrariums are somewhat dark and have moisture on the glass/walls, as my phone camera sucks, so no more bug pics unfortunately.

There was this event/exhibit thing tho, which featured GIANT BUGS

My favorite of them was this trapdoor spider that would come out if you pressed a pedal with your foot for a while:

It was fun watching how people would first see someone else press the pedal, go "ohh that's how it works!", then go do it themselves and be delighted when the spider would come out.

What zoo? I wish the ones near me had more than butterfies. (..don't get me wrong, I adore the butterflies but wouldn't mind seeing the more unusual insects as well...)
