So much to see, do and touch at the Bohart Museum of Entomology during the 109th annual campuswide UC Davis Picnic Day. The theme: Bugs, Boom, Bang! "We had over 1500 people through the museum in just 4 hours," said Tabatha Yang, the Bohart Museum's education and outreach coordinator.

It all happened from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
