Arthropod-Mania

I am currently taking an entomology course at Miami University. Once I get my insect collection arranged a bit better be ready to see some pictures of my insects that I have collected. Today we visited the Cincinnati Zoo to tour the insect house. Did you know that the zoo has one of the largest collections of living insects in the country? It's quite fascinating to see the insects at the zoo. They discovered that the gigantic stick insects actually can go through parthenogenesis (females can give birth to live young without fertilization from a male). Here's a brief video on stick insects. Enjoy!
