Recoil in horror as a guide places a giant beetle or earthworm in your hand. Check out butterfly- and ladybug-raising labs. This kid-oriented attraction is operated by a company that sells kits for rearing frogs, spiders, ants, butterflies, etc. The gift shop sells special eyeglasses that give you the compound vision of a hornet.
