Fans of creepy crawlies and other creatures will be thrilled by the 2012 iteration of Bug Fest, a fun Philadelphia event hosted annually at the city's Academy of Natural Sciences Museum. The fifth annual Bug Fest takes place this year on Saturday August 11th and Sunday August 12th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Bug Fest promises attendees the chance to go on a bug walk, see unique and interesting bugs from the museums collection, and even taste a bug or two — artfully prepared, of course! Bug fans can also meet real entomologists, and learn about butterflies, moths, and other bugs from around the world. It's a fun event for kids of all ages, and a great reason to visit the Academy of Natural Sciences, an interesting museum located right on Philadelphia's parkway.
