The Insectarium

Next to the Biodome there's an insect museum called the Insectarium. I don't remember seeing any live insects, though I think there was a butterfly garden? That may have been another museum. They all look the same when you've visited enough of them.

Raja Brooke's Birdwing

Rice Paper Butterfly? I think?

This is the cool thing where a butterfly is both male and female. In a species with sexual dimorphism, this is what happens. The butterfly probably couldn't fly very well, but it still looks really majestic.

I think this is a sunset moth or something?

Is this one the sunset moth?

Some weird species of preying mantis I don't know the name of. I'm not an entomologist.


Probably a monarch butterfly, but I think this is the one that isn't actually poisonous and imitates the monarch's coloring.

Some sort of leafwing butterfly.






These are from the Botanical Garden outside the Insectarium. I didn't get any more pictures because I was kind of tired of taking photos at that point and I was hungry, so I went to get food.
