A NASA spacecraft has returned asteroid samples that hold not only the pristine building blocks for life but also the salty remains of an ancient water world.

BLACKSBURG, Va. – From Oct. 7-17, bugs of all sizes will be crawling across your screen during the virtual 10th annual Hokie Bug Fest. This year, in honor of the 10th anniversary, Hokie Bug Fest isn’t just one day. When you visit Hokie Bug Fest’s website, there are virtual vendor booths you click, and you’ll be doing more than just seeing bugs and hearing them hiss and buzz. While cockroaches, beetles and spiders aren’t as cute as kittens, Hokie Bug Fest is a way to show bugs are worth appreciating too. Hokie Bug Fest ends Oct. 17 and is free.

From bug elimination to celebrating the more likeable ones, we're talking Hokie BugFest and getting an up-close look at some of the bugs that will be there! Tim McCoy and Aryanna James with the Virginia Tech Department of Entomology fill us in. Copyright 2019 by WSLS 10 - All rights reserved.
