The Insect Identification Guide
Some can lift over 50 times their body weight. Others taste with their feet, or have ears on their legs. It's the strange and fascinating world of insects...creatures that are undeniably vital to our daily lives. Insects pollinate our crops, and supply us with products like honey, silk and medicine. They also serve as food for fish and birds, and are crucial for research on such topics as heredity and pollution.
The O. Orkin Insect Zoo, located inside the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of National History, will change the way you view insects and their relatives. Over a million visitors each year are discovering their global ecological importance, and the interdependent relationship between insects and humans. You may not welcome insects into your home, but life as we know it wouldn't exist without them.
