Text Appearing Before Image:
Exhibits At present the Museum has no Hall of Insects and Spiders, but exhibits of insects can be found interspersed throughout those in the Museum. The origin and fossil history is treated in the John Lindsley Hall of Earth History (Fourth ROOT, Section 2). The Hall of North American Forests (First Floor. Section 5) includes exhibits showing the importance of insects as pests and harvesters of trees, as links in the food chain of forest animals, and as components of the community of the forest floor. In the Warburg Memorial Hall (First Floor, Section 3) exhibits touch on insects as pollinators and pests of crops, as disposers of organic wastes, and as conditioners of the soil. Throughout the Museum, habitat groups often include a few of the most spectacular insects characteristic of the place represented. The major exhibits concerning insects, however, are in the Hall of the Biology of Invertebrates (First Floor, Section 9). Here the Departments of Entomology, Living Invertebrates, and Animal Behavior worked to illustrate, in effect, animal biology with invertebrate examples.
