Bugs!

They crawl. They sting. They hiss. And we run! Let's face it, desert tarantulas, bark scorpions and centipedes aren't exactly the most charming creatures. But our desert can't do without them.

Get up close -- or not! -- as the mysteries of the Mojave's most amazing insects, arachnids and other invertebrates are revealed every day at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Will you squirm in your seat? We guarantee it.

Featured creepy-crawlers include:


  • Desert hairy scorpion

  • Desert tarantula

  • Banded centipede

  • Vinegaroon

  • Pinacate Beetles

  • Hissing Cockroaches
