Welcome to The Virtual Insectary!  Like insect zoos and butterfly gardens, you've found a unique place to study and observe a few insects. The Virtual Insectary provides images of some common insects, and includes information on their foods and habitats. Take the time to follow the links and learn how insects are part of this "much bigger picture".
