My Exhibition of Insects for the Museum of Natural History

I don't know if you remember, but two years ago, I started a call for dead insects from your breeding. Many people helped me and thus, the project became bigger than I initially thought. Right now, I have 17 insect boxes, filled with all kinds of interesting insects. They are listed as follows, I am sorry that I did not translate the texts in the boxes yet. I will do that in future. You will find a picture of the box and some interesting facts or information about the breeding and keeping or life history of these fantastic creatures. The boxes are exhibited in the Museum of Natural History in Aschaffenburg. So if you come by for a visit, maybe you'll like to stop by. Thanks to everybody, who helped me realising this project.

Any suggestions, hints, criticism,

Please to
