Insect Agency
All ages
Insects are everywhere, in a mind-blowing diversity of shapes, colours and species.
Insect Agency, an exhibition developed by Queensland Museum, explores the surprising variety of ways insects do good - for the planet and humanity.
From maintaining healthy ecosystems, pollinating our crops, to providing inspiration for new technologies, they are six-legged superheroes.
Things to see and do
- Discover more than 1,000 insect specimens, from the tiniest wasps to brightly coloured butterflies, dracula ants, dung beetles and stick insects.
