Chewonki’s Bugmobile

The Lewiston Public Library will be hosting Chewonki’s Bugmobile on Saturday, August 17th at 11:00AM in Callahan Hall.

Join us for this exciting presentation featuring arthropods. Is a bug an insect? Is a spider a bug? Chewonki’s Bugmobile transports the world of arthropods—insects and their relatives—to Callahan Hall. Using models, costumes, and live specimens, they will explain the unique characteristics of four major groups of arthropods.

Their live “bug” species will introduce you to some of the fascinating adaptations essential for survival, such as mimicry, camouflage, armor, and the use of venom.


Chewonki’s Bugmobile is free, open to the public, and no registration is required. The Lewiston Public Library is located downtown at 200 Lisbon Street at the corner of Pine Street.
