Description

The National Taiwan University Insect Museum Digital Archives Project, aside from collecting specimen images and profiles of insect life, has also gathered photos of these insects within the ecology of their natural environments. These records give a different, critical view of some of the island’s most fascinating wildlife. Want to scrutinize the large scythe of the stalking mantis? Or take a closer look at butterflies as they drink nectar from living flowers? Does the “Orange Oakleaf” really resemble a dead leaf? In “Gallery of Insect Ecology,” you can find comprehensive photos on insect ecology, records of their lifestyles and living environments. Dynamic materials are presented with graphic illustrations to allow a better understanding of these insects.
