      @geomorph What are your top 5 insect zoos that you have encountered in your zoo travels? How does this one at the Houston museum rank?
    • geomorph
      @DavidBrown I would say this one is in the top 5! Audubon Insectarium was number 1, I am really curious if their move to their aquarium facility will be just as impressive. Cincinnati number 2. Albuquerque number 3. Saint Louis number 4. And this one number 5.

      The most recent insect exhibit complex I have seen is Oregon Zoo’s Insect Zoo which is a nice little room but would rank below top 10.

      @geomorph Have you had a chance to see the new insect house at San Diego Zoo? If so, what did you think of it?

      @DavidBrown I have not visited the zoo since they opened the new childrens zoo, despite it being my honorary “home zoo”!
