The Susan and Peter J. Solomon Insectarium located in the Richard Gilder Center for Science at the American Museum of Natural History offers visitors the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the world of insects. Even though some may turn up their noses in disgust at the very thought, not only are they vital to our ecosystem, but they can be quite fascinating as well.  In addition to the 18 different live species on view, there are pinned samples of numerous other species.

The insectarium is highly interactive and includes numerous digital displays. You can listen to different insect sounds, learn to speak like a firefly, and more.  There is a whole exhibit devoted to honeybees. You can view the larger-than-life honeycomb, pretend to be a bee, and more. Plus, there is a lot more to do and see and learn about in a fun way at the insectarium.

And that's our view. For more about the insectarium, visit www.amnh.org/exhibitions/permanent/gilder-center. For more about the American Museum of Natural History in general  or to purchase tickets online, visit www.amnh.org

Tune in tomorrow for Theater Thursday.
