The Beauty of Bugs, April 1st - May 28th

Bugs outnumber us humans 200 million to one and all other animals combined four to one, yet most of us do our level best to avoid seeing them.  However, a local photographer, Steve Russell, has made a point to see them and will be sharing his mesmerizing macro images of local bugs during this exhibit.  Come see these incredible insects and spiders like you've never seen them before and marvel at these natural wonders likely living in your own backyard.
