Bugs!

Free with Museum Admission

An eye-popping, insect-hopping, draw-dropping look at the lush rainforest.

Take a big look at a small world.

Come face-to-face with some of the little guys in life. Bugs! is a breakthrough live-action nature film that explores the lives of an old-world praying mantis and a beautiful butterfly, known by their Latin names, Hierodula and Papilio.

Born in the same part of the exotic Borneo rainforest, the stars of the film begin life surrounded by a supporting cast of intriguing insects. Hierodula develops by incomplete metamorphosis, emerging from his egg as a mini-mantis and shedding his skin regularly on his way to gaining adult wings. Papilio experiences a complete metamorphosis, from caterpillar to butterfly via the pupal stage. Against a stunning backdrop of tropical foliage, witness the extraordinary transformation that leads to an inevitable encounter between Hierodula and Papilio.

Along the way, discover an array of fascinating creatures that also inhabit this lush and awe-inspiring habitat.
