A Performance to Discover Spiders in a New Light

Attend one our Capsulettes, a short puppet performance that unveils a hidden side of the lives of insects and anthropods in the Grand Vivarium. Children laugh and ask questions, while adults rediscover these arachnids from a new perspective.

Throughout the show, you'll see how spiders use their webs to trap prey. You'll learn how they weave patiently or pounce swiftly.

You'll leave the Insectarium with a fresh outlook on these misunderstood creatures and the crucial role they play in nature. This fun and educational experience is for everyone. '
