Stinky feet can make you more attractive — to a hungry mosquito, that is! Explore the science of what’s eating you at Cape Fear Museum May 25 — September 9, with Attack of the Bloodsuckers!. Attack of the Bloodsuckers! will discover the biological wonders of sanguinivores — creatures that eat blood — through encounters with interactive exhibits and vibrant graphics. Visitors will be able to sit on a giant inflatable tick, spin their way through the mosquito’s life cycle, examine their own veins and the bodies of bloodsuckers with scientific instruments, and play a bloodsucker matching game. As Museum Director Ruth Haas explains “This exhibit explores the science of sanguinivores in a fun and interactive way.” In addition, when visitors leave the Museum, they will have learned why mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, leeches and other parasites are important to our ecosystem.

Stinky feet can make you more attractive — to a hungry mosquito, that is! Explore the science of what’s eating you at Cape Fear Museum May 25 — September 9, with Attack of the Bloodsuckers!. Attack of the Bloodsuckers! will discover the biological wonders of sanguinivores — creatures that eat blood — through encounters with interactive exhibits and vibrant graphics. Visitors will be able to sit on a giant inflatable tick, spin their way through the mosquito’s life cycle, examine their own veins and the bodies of bloodsuckers with scientific instruments, and play a bloodsucker matching game. As Museum Director Ruth Haas explains “This exhibit explores the science of sanguinivores in a fun and interactive way.” In addition, when visitors leave the Museum, they will have learned why mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, leeches and other parasites are important to our ecosystem.
