World’s Largest Rattlesnake Roundup
The rattlesnake,a poisonous American snake,serves an important function in nature by keeping small pests under control,but when their numbers grow too large,they can cause serious problems for farmers.That’s why every March the residents of Sweetwater,Texas,host a three-day festival in association with the town’s annual rattlesnake hunt.
Visitors can learn about rattlesnakes,take a bus tour of their natural habitat,participate in a rattlesnake eating contest and so on.
BugFest
Every September,the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh sponsors a daylong festival that focuses on something most people try to avoid:insects.
Visitors can hold bugs that are not native,cheer on racing insects and learn about beekeeping.But the highlight for many is Café Insecta,where bugs are the main ingredient(原料) in a variety of tasty dishes.
