More information on John May Museum Center

This museum is both creepy and fascinating. Display cases are jammed with over 7,000 invertebrates, making it one of the best collections of large tropical insects in the world. Stunningly colored Brazilian butterflies and Columbian beetles that are so large that when in flight can knock over a human, are just some of bug offerings. There is also a wing devoted to space exploration and contains amazing photos snapped from Voyager II.
