CuriOdyssey was thrilled to have hosted Dr. Stephanie A. Dole, entomologist, educator and Beetlelady, during CuriOdyssey’s “Bugs Day” back in 2017.

Stephanie has been educating the public about insects since 1997, with extensive experience as a scientist, educator and researcher. She shared her amazing collection of live bugs and specimens, including stories of their evolution, and survival, and allowed our guests even to touch the bugs. Our guests were able to get up close with bugs while learning about their differences and importance to our environment. Watch her teach kids how to sing the Insect Song, talk about millipedes as insect repellent, and hold a tarantula, all on our Facebook page.

We are happy to share that Dr. Dole will be returning to CuriOdyssey for our next First Friday Night, occurring on November 5th (5 pm -8 pm). Check out her pop-up bug museum for a preview of what to expect! Come see the debut of her exciting new offering: the Pop-Up Bug Museum, premiering on the evening of November 5th and then continuing through the rest of the weekend (November 6-7).
