Virginia Tech Bug Zoo

Entomology logo

The Virginia Tech Bug Zoo includes live arthropods from around the world. Members include insects, spiders, centipedes, millipedes, scorpions, whip scorpions, and many other insect-like relatives. The zoo is housed in the Virginia Tech Department of Entomology and is used for public outreach and science literacy education including Hokie BugCamp, Hokie BugFest, and various K-12 and organizational youth activities. It is also the basis for several undergraduate and graduate lab courses in the entomology curriculum at Virginia Tech.
