It's Crawloween at the Insectarium October 29 and 30!

(New Orleans, La.)–  Audubon Insectarium invites guests to celebrate Halloween “infestivities" at Crawloween on Saturday, October 29 and Sunday, October 30.  Children are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes, learn about the myths behind some "scary" critters, make a bug craft and enjoy Halloween treats.

Staff entomologists will be on hand to talk about myths and legends behind some of the most misunderstood arthropods including roaches, spiders, and maggots. Visitors can also enter the "Guess How Many Maggots are in the Jar” contest.  The three closest guesses will receive gift certificates to the Insectarium’s Flea Market.

The Halloween bug fun awaits guests from 10:00am till 5:00pm. Guests are encouraged to trick or treat at presentation stations for spider rings, Crawloween stickers and other fun treats.  Children (ages 12 and under) dressed in a bug-themed costume will receive a $3 discount off of admission. All Halloween activities are included in general admission cost.
