Just wanted to give my local readers a heads up:
The Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona is hosting David Roger’s Big Bugs sculpture exhibit again, starting in September. They have some ant-related events associated with the exhibit:
There will be a showing of the documentary Ants — Nature’s Secret Power on November 3, 2011 at 7-8:30 p.m., with a question and answer session by Dr. Bert Hoelldobler afterwards.
Kevin Haight from Arizona State University will present Ants in the Sonoran Desert on Saturday, October 8, 2011.
There is a fee for both programs above, the amount depending on whether you are a member of the garden or not.
Look for classes for children and a kid’s movie at the website as well.
Wow! I’ll be in Mesa for Thanksgiving, maybe I can convince my parents to take me to see the bug sculptures. They look really cool.
