Love Bugs

For an adventurous Valentine’s Day, join us for chocolate covered insects, truffles, wine and champagne with a stimulating Valentine's Day talk on insect behavior and reproduction with John Watts, Entomologist.

He’ll cover everything from the dance that scorpions give when mating (the female is testing the male for strength) to the fact that some male mantises actually lose their head over love.

Cost: $25 or $40 per couple. $20 TDG Member or $30 per Member Couple.
