Imagining Insects at North Museum
September 27 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

Explore insects like never before through live enclosures, rare pinned specimens, and interactive visitor engagement. Plus a 24 foot mantis! It might bug you to know this, but insects are the most common animals on our planet and they live just about everywhere life can exist on its surface. Over 1.5 million species have been named, which is 3 times the number of all other species of animal combined. Understanding and appreciating them has never been more important. In our lifetimes, we will only ever observe a small portion of what we might wish to see of all insects. They come in so many diverse forms, and are so widespread across the Earth. However, if we use our imaginations, alongside scientific discoveries, we can explore the lives of insects, their roles in nature, and their importance in the world.
