About

A glass dome covering a beetle and green moss.

Mickey Alice Kwapis, Professional Taxidermist

$95 members / $115 nonmembers

Open to children with adult supervision and those ages 12 and up.

Advance registration required

Prepare and pose an iridescent frog-legged beetle specimen and mount it in a miniature environment of your creation, all enclosed within a  three-inch glass dome. Materials are included but participants are encouraged to bring rocks, crystals, dried flowers, or other materials to further enhance their insect’s home.

These are fun, engaging activities that can be enjoyed by all ages. Students under age 12 must be accompanied by an adult chaperone who can work with the child, at no additional charge. If chaperones wish to complete their own project, a second specimen must be purchased through a separate registration.
