Shopping News Photo by Donald Reese Children packed the Ephrata Public Library to see the fascinating world of bugs in a program presented by non other than Ryan Bridge, affectionately known as The Bug Man. For over 30 years, Ryan has been involved with entomology on all levels, has traveled around the world in search of amazing bugs, and wants children to learn all they can about these amazing and colorful creatures. The highlight of the show was the opportunity for children to hold live tarantulas, scorpions, and other insects as shown in the photos. Having this up-close experience with these creatures gave children an appreciation of insects and hopefully a desire to learn more about the world around them.
