Bugs, Millipedes And Butterflies Galore The eighth annual Bug Zoo started Sunday and will be ongoing at the Sawtooth Botanical Garden for two weeks. About 300 people paid a nominal fee Sunday to visit the exhibition and take part in the activities. The fees help cover the cost of the event, a favorite segment of the yearlong children’s programs.
