In a little stripmall outside of Phoenix is the unique Katydid Insect Museum. Opened in 2000 by Nedra Solomon, an exterminator and bug expert, this museum (associated with Heritage Pest Control) is definitely not for the squeamish. With an impressive collection of over 20,000 live and mounted specimens you can get hands-on with beetles, tarantulas, roaches, scorpions, and millipedes. Besides the usual “pests” is also an assortment of reptiles, including turtles, boa constrictors, and salamanders. The lizards and bearded dragons can even be taken for walks on their leashes if it’s not too crowded. Just don’t be surprised if your kids want to take one home.
