Insects in Religion
1788 El Prado, San Diego, 92101
Cost: $9 - $12
Insects and their kin are regularly featured in religious writing and iconography. While plagues of locusts might spring to mind, not all representations of insects in religion are so negative.
Join Dr. Michael Wall, Vice President of Public Programs and research and Curator of Entomology, for "Insects in Religion: From Sacred Scarabs to Manna from Heaven" as he delves into the natural history of these animals to reveal how nature inspired the use of insects in religious scripture and folklore.
