LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Insect fans of all ages are sure to enjoy the new seasonal attraction heading into the Louisville Zoo.

“IncrediBUGS,” presented by Great Clips, heads into the Louisville Zoo on June 25 and runs through Sept. 18, according to a release.

The Louisville Zoo said the event will feature 18 giant animatronic bugs and insects, which brings small creatures to enormous proportions.

Different species will be on display, including beetles, ants, butterflies, a firefly, a dragonfly and many more.
