Insects are fascinating, bizarre, alien-like, beautiful, have amazing stories, and are just down right cool. Spend time discovering what is really going on around you. Nathan Erwin is the Manager of the
Smithsonian Institution’s Otto Orkin Insect Zoo located in the National Museum of Natural History.
In addition to caring for and culturing a wide variety of insects, spiders, crustaceans, millipedes and
centipedes, Erwin has traveled in Central and South American forests to collect exotic insects to culture and display in the Insect Zoo.
