Up close and personal Dylan Spesard takes a close look at a Madagascar cockroach at the Purdue Bug in a Bag program at the Flora Public Library. At the end of the program, children could touch and hold the insects. Prof. Alan York of the Purdue Dept. of Entomology gave the children strict rules: "Do not drop my insects. Do not step on my insects. Do not eat my insects." The informational bug show was part of the library's summer reading program, "Catch the Reading Bug." Comet photo by Jennifer Archibald 045p1_xlg.jpg
