ENTOMOPHILIA
ENTOMOPHILIA
• BY VALÉRIE LEVÉE
Anyone who has spent time with any of the members of the Insectarium team knows how passionate they are about their work. That passion is entomophilia. It’s the love we have for insects in recognition of the benefits we derive from them and of our interrelationship with them and nature. This recognition of our interdependence with insects inspires respect and motivates the Insectarium team to work to promote entomophilia. A love for and fascination with insects drive the Insectarium’s educational and research programs, as well as its conservation efforts. The museum’s recent metamorphosis is an opportunity to highlight and showcase this philosophy, in the hopes that it will become widely adopted throughout society.
