The BugWorld Experience, the UK's first 'Insecterium' has opened its doors at the Albert Dock in Liverpool.
Thanks to a range of simulated environments from a Rainforest to the everyday British home, visitors can see, learn about and interact with all manner of bugs with the help of a team of trained guides.
Bugs that can be viewed include the preying mantis, death stalker scorpion, red spotted assassin bug, giant centipede and the Mexican red knee tarantula.
Keith Thomas, director of the Petersham Group, says: "This is a must for all budding scientists, adventurers and travellers. Nowhere else in Britain could they get up close and personal to insects and bugs in a fun and educational way like this."
