Can't live with them, can't live without them. Let's face it...Bugs are an important part of the circle of life. Audience members will learn all the parts of various live (yes, live!) bugs; like cockroaches and compare them to non-insect creepy crawlies such as live scorpions, millipedes, spiders, and more. You'll see a side of bugs you've never seen before at the What's Buggin' You? Bug Show starring Safari Steve on Aug. 9 at 7 p.m.

The What's Buggin' You? Bug Show is a presentation of Carroll County on the Same Page. So what do bugs have to do with "Crow Lake" by Mary Lawson? Come to the Flora Library and find out!
