Insect Agency Exhibit - Toowoomba QLD
Check out the amazing Insect Agency Exhibit at the Cobb & Co Museum in Toowoomba!
Insect Agency, is an exhibition developed by Queensland Museum and sponsored by the Entomological Society of Queensland. It explores the surprising variety of ways insects do good for the planet and humanity. From maintaining healthy ecosystems, pollinating our crops, to providing inspiration for new technologies – they are six-legged superheroes!
The exhibit will be on display at Toowoomba until 2 March:
- Discover more than 1,000 insect specimens, from the tiniest wasps to brightly coloured butterflies, dung beetles and stick insects.
- Experience nearly all 349 species of Queensland butterflies on display – which make up more than 75% of Australia’s 450 or so butterfly species.
- Learn about the Dracula Ant, whose jaws can snap shut at a speed of 320 kilometres per hour!
- Test your skills with Metamorphosis Match and learn all about insect life cycles.
