going to an Insectarium this afternoon!

[praline3001]

They opened up an insectarium in my city and I haven't been yet. The kids conned me as it will give me a chance to practice my macro LOL
I am not big on bugs ~ and they have a bug eating cook off
One thing that will be cool is their butterfly room. They have a huge walk through butterfly exhibit. I am hoping to get some great photos of some colorful butterflies

Oh and since we will be down in the city I might shoot a few photos of the drunks on bourbon for ya LOL

Drunks, bugs and butterflies! Looks to be an interesting day .

We print lots of bug books at work and some of them can be stunning. The butterflies in butterfly houses are always a colourful variety so you should get some great images.

We have a huge butterfly house opening up about 50 miles away later on in the year and I think the journey will be worth it!

We are back and I am downloading photos as we speak ~ I got some GREAT macro shots!!!! WOW what a place to practice macro

Not too many drunks but I did have an Elvis sighting LOL

I will post some BEAUTIFUL butterfly photos when I get them downloaded ~

OHHHHHHH I do have the BEST sweet tooth photo but not sure on the time/date thing LOL ...how about some cricket beignets

[Saralonde]

Ah, beignets... [sigh]

[praline3001]

LOL these don't look like that

These were made from fried crickets ~ and you could eat as many as you wanted

I haven't made it to N.O. in 2-3 yrs now and I'm missing it.....AND cricket beignets? !!

O.K. I could do without the cricket beignets, but an insectarium?...that would be cool!
