There's also an impressive display of regular-sized insects and arachnids to see and learn about, a station that allows you to look through the compound eyes of a bug, and a chance to master the flight of insects with radio controlled flyers. Visitors get a chance to actually control the massive metal constructs, including a gigantic praying mantis. A monarch butterfly on display sports a 19-foot wingspan, more than the ancient sky titan Quetzalcoatlus.
These insect creations offer visitors a chance to see the normally minute workings of these animals in mind-blowing proportions. The bugs are the products of Garner Holt Productions, who have more than 30 years in the animatronics game. Throw ''robotics'' into the mix and you have '' Backyard Monsters: The World of Insects'' (the educational exhibit for the whole family, not a 1950s sci-fi flick).
Giant bugs are such a terrifying idea that they actually have their own apocalyptic film subgenre.
