Known by many as “Bruce the BUG Guy”, Dr. Giebink is an energetic speaker on a wide range of insect-related topics and has published various scientific and popular publications on insects. In 2013, he teamed up with Bill Johnson (photographer extraordinaire) and the Minnesota History Museum to write a wonderfully illustrated book entitled “MN Bug Hunt.”
His insect education program is specifically designed to teach children about insects (and related arthropods) in a fun and ENTO-taining way. It’s a dynamic blend of Show ‘n Tell, storytelling, interesting facts and fun hands-on activities that feature LIVE critters from his arthropod zoo (mouse-size hissing cockroaches, pencil-size millipedes, Rosie the tarantula, etc.).
