So interesting. All of the entomologists were so passionate and informative. Great video!

[@Morales-nt6vi]

I absolutely love this stuff. Personally I've experienced many local insects and its very rewarding to observe at home or in nature. You will never run out of species always something new to learn. Hobbies are vital to ones own mental, spiritual and physical well being. One can find interesting insects even in urban parks that aren't ruined by pesticides or herbicides.

Annoying music; I would've greatly preferred the background sounds of the conservancy. Otherwise, great video!

Or for it not to run so long would've made the video a lot better I think. 😊

Delving into the intricacies of entomology at the Butterfly Biosphere is a testament to the meticulous care and dedication of the team. From meticulously managing humidity levels to ensuring a diverse diet for each species, their commitment to the well-being of invertebrates is commendable. Moreover, their efforts in conservation and education not only nurture these creatures but also foster appreciation and understanding among visitors. This video offers a captivating glimpse into the world of insect care, highlighting the team's passion for their work and the fascinating complexities of invertebrate ecosystems. 🦋🦋🦋

It is a lot of fun but if like me you work 7 days a week for 16 hours a day it can get a little taxing 😆I have close to the same amount as you guys in individuals but much more as far as species are concerned (unless you have much more you didn't mention, of course). Feeding time can be a nightmare if you're not in the mood!

I have been looking to identify an insect I saw 20 years ago. It was on a dead squirrel. It was about 2cm long and brown in colour and it had a bright gold band across it's back. The location was near Ottawa Ontario Canada. Anybody care to take a crack at what it is?

[@africanwilddog6685]

I’m not an expert on insects but the only ones I know that have gold stripes are potato bugs and house centipedes. was there a particular insect it looked like? like a beetle, centipede, millepede, cricket, etc? ik crickets eat dead animals… 😵‍💫 lol

[@drawyrral]

The gold stripe sparkled like polished metal, while the brown colour was dull, not shiny at all. I think they were beetles. The thing that struck me though was the way they moved over the carcass. It was like they were floating over it. I'm sure they are a carrion insect of some kind.@@africanwilddog6685

Can I purchase butterflies online?

[@Alternativesmallholding]

Surely these ‘tubs’ for animals are not enough? I understand that you want to have a species to show off for people to pay money to see, but this is cruel.

[@meowing005]

no its not?
