Aha, giant bugs!

Ajutine näitus
Giant bugs have arrived! Come face to face with beetles, giant scorpions, and other extraordinary creatures that would normally fit in the palm of your hand. Discover how colourful and fascinating the world of tiny insects becomes when it’s blown up to huge sizes right before your eyes!

We’ll take you on a journey through the kingdom of arthropods and other invertebrates. The exhibition features gigantic moving insects and arachnids whose world we normally see only through a magnifying glass. Take a close look at the world’s largest scorpion, find out how dragonflies and mantises catch their prey, what secret weapons ladybugs use, and why fireflies glow at night.

“Aha, giant bugs!” reveals details you would never notice with the naked eye — like giant scorpions whose claws could snap a pencil, or bees whose precision and hierarchy make them true engineers of nature. And you’ll learn how insects rule the world! They’re everywhere, and there are more of them than any other animal group. Without them, life on Earth wouldn’t exist.

The exhibition combines science, the beauty of nature and a touch of thrilling eeriness — exactly the way AHHAA likes to do things.
