Tropical Insectary
Although the Insectarium of Victoria is situated in a temperate climate, many species are from warmer parts of Australia. In order to maintain tropical species throughout the year, a special environment needs to be provided for them.
Our tropical house allows us to display butterflies, stick insects, leaf insects and other northern Australian species for your enjoyment. We invite you to take a leisurely stroll along the path and observe the diversity of our resident tropical invertebrate animals.
The Insectarium of Victoria is often featured in the print, radio and national television media as one of the most unique museum experiences available to both students and the general public within Australia.
Today, the Insectarium of Victoria continues to expand its collections and displays and is constantly looking into ways of enhancing its message of invertebrate and insect awareness to our visitors.
