Big Bugs... is at Inniswoods Metro Gardens through October 14, 2007.
The bugs are the work of artist David Rogers.
Inniswood Metro Gardens is part of the Metroparks.
There's a slideshow with some of the other bug sculptures and lots of flowers on my other blog, ColumbusBestBlog.com. There are not photos of all Rogers' bugs there you need to go see them yourselves at Innsiwood Metro Gardens, the photos don't do the sculptures or the flowers justice.
Above is one of three large ants. There's ladybugs (which are not bugs and aren't all ladies either... 'Big Bugs' is educational even if you are older) a great spider, an assasin bug, a butterfly, an 11' grass hopper, a dragon fly.... and more.
Sunday's Commit To Be Fit Walk is at Inniswood Metro Gardens 
kill two birds with one stone. Figuratively. They have children's programs on Saturdays throughout the exhibit of the BIG BUGS.
It's FREE!

Neat, Maureen. Thanks for sharing. Being an art fan and a collector, I alwaya appreciate outdoor scultpure - there is some great stuff here along the California coast in Cardiff, Laguna Beach....I've seen painted cows in New Haven, CT, painted hearts at Union Square in San Francisco, and so on. Nice localism post.

Columbus did corn sculptures on the streets downtown a few years back. The artist who was commissioned by HER sold her sculpture to HER (or maybe it was Real Living? and it is in the lobby of the Building where Real Living HER (Central Ohio) and Real Living are headquartered. We have a permanent field of corn in Dublin. We have the Dancing Hares' in Dublin. There were some great sculptures in City Center (a downtown Columbus mall that has fallen on hard times.) There are great bronze animal sculptures at the Columbus zoo...
I got pictures of some of the permanent sculptures at Inniswood Metro Gardens as well as the flowers and trees and streams etc. to use in future entries on ColumbusBestBlog.com Thanks for the comment Jeff.
