Get ready for a fang-tastic afternoon! They hop, they crawl, they scuttle and slither—bugs, reptiles, and amphibians are some of the most important (and misunderstood) creatures in our ecosystems. From pollination to pest control, decomposition to biodiversity, these underappreciated powerhouses help keep our world in balance.

Creepy Critters is here to show how animals often labeled “creepy” can actually be cool, through insightful conversations and live animal meet-and-greets with experts from the University of Arkansas’s Entomology and Herpetology departments.

Free, no tickets required.
