From the majestic Ornithoptera alexandrae, also known as Queen Alexandra's birdwing butterfly, to the mysterious Acherontia atropos or death's-head hawk-moth, these creatures captivate our imagination. Among them are the hardworking honey bees (Apis mellifera), whose intricate honeycomb and life cycle leave us in awe. With an expanded cross-section and insets revealing their complex society, we gain a deeper understanding of their remarkable organization. Delving further into their internal anatomy through a cross-section view of a Honey Bee (Apis mellifera), we uncover the intricacies that make these tiny creatures so efficient in pollination and honey production. Entomology specimens offer us glimpses into various insect species found in Surinam. Each specimen tells a unique story about its habitat and behavior, reminding us of nature's endless wonders. Observing a Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) sunbathing on a plant brings forth feelings of tranquility as we witness this beautiful butterfly basking in sunlight.
