As the sole provider of insects for the exhibit, “Amazing Insects,” Ryan has meticulously curated and cared for each and every specimen on display. From giant beetles to delicate butterflies, the exhibit offers visitors the opportunity to learn about and appreciate the diversity and beauty of the insect world.
But Ryan’s expertise doesn’t stop at just providing bugs for the exhibit. As a certified entomologist with years of experience, he also consults with the museum on the exhibit’s design and educational content, ensuring that visitors of all ages leave with a newfound appreciation and understanding of insects.
Visitors can expect to see a wide variety of insects from all over the world, including species that are rarely seen on display. Ryan has sourced the insects from areas such as Brazil, Africa, and Australia to make the exhibit as diverse as possible.
The exhibit also features interactive displays, with a live bug “petting zoo” including a tarantula and a giant scorpion (to just name two), that allow visitors to get an up-close and personal look at these fascinating creatures.
Whether you’re a seasoned entomologist or just curious about the world of bugs, the “Amazing Insects” exhibit is not to be missed. Be sure to visit the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and experience the incredible work of Ryan “The Bugman” Bridge.
