A Virtual Tour of the NMNH:  O. Orkin Insect Zoo

House


Our homes and backyards make excellent insect habitats. What looks like a single habitat for humans is, for insects, many different ones. No matter where we look, we might find an entire insect ecosystem--from moths in the clothes to cockroaches in the kitchen and beetles in the flour. Insects enter our homes by hitching a ride on our clothes and bodies, our food and packages, the wood for the fireplace, and even on our pets.
