Nocturnal Exhibit

 

This amazing exhibit, still under construction, will feature an active leaf cutter ant colony. They will have 'tunnels' built along the ceiling that allow the ants to find and harvest the leaves necessary for daily colony life. See some video (517 kb) * taken at the grand opening ceremony.

 

Donations to the Butterfly conservatory and Insect Zoo are highly appreciated. Please send your tax-deductible donations to the Department of Entomology and made out Butterfly Conservatory Fund.
