11:30 am – 12:00 pm
The EcoTarium is excited to announce our newest traveling exhibit, Attack of the Bloodsuckers!
Learn about mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, leeches, and other bloodsucking parasites in this skin-crawling exhibition. Learn the what, why, who, and when of how parasites live, work, and play. At Attack of the Bloodsuckers! visitors can look a real leech in the mouth, receive a big hug from a giant, inflating tick, get itchy and knotty with the life-size game of “Twitcher”—a buggy variation on Twister™, watch mosquito larvae perform their little water ballet, measure the invisible carbon dioxide gas in their breath to learn how mosquitoes follow this gas trail to locate a target, and so much more!
