This Saturday Cornell University's Comstock Hall was filled with five million visitors. However, most had wings, multiple legs, and four or five eyeballs. Cornell's Insectapalooza brought hundreds of visitors to the campus to check out millions of different bug specimens. The gathering offered cockroach races, a butterfly room (as featured above), and a zoo room full of live specimens. As reported by The Cornell Chronicle Online, "Entomology professor John Losey hopes that such programs as Insectapalooza will engage families and community members into scientific research at Cornell."
