Bug Day on Valentine's Day at Tūhura Otago Museum!
Celebrate the wonders of bugs with us and vote for New Zealand Bug of the Year!
This year, alongside our Parasite Personality Quiz, Parasite Comics, and Phenomenal Parasites Cards, and with marine parasite specimens kindly supported by the wonderful Dr. Jerusha Bennett, we also exhibited living cercariae freshly emerging from local intertidal mud snails!
And big thanks to our new team of volunteers:
and our team behind the scenes - Yuanzhe Wang, Dr. Stephen Pollo, Dr. Eléonore Charrier, Dr. Kyle Lesack, Dr. Thorey Josdott, and Xiao Xiao!
