Come on an Insect Safari with us

They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, they're altogether ooky, the Insect Safari!

We love all kinds of skeletons and this school holidays we are celebrating the amazing diversity of exoskeletons that insects and arachnids have. Meet the flesh eating beetles, see the insect predators, marvel at the detail of the insect artwork by Joolie Gibbs and be mesmerised by the insect collections from Queensland Museum.
