I'm not sure if a thread like this exists already but:

I soon have visits lined up for both Berlin Zoo and Berlin Tierpark and I was wondering if someone could possibly list the invertebrate species both collection have?
This is so I can get a grasp of roughly how many new invert species I may be seeing and photographing when my visit comes around.

Thanks :)
 
I reviewed Berlin Zoo on my Snowleopard's 2019 Road Trip thread 4 years ago, and here was the invertebrate species list inside the Aquarium:

Species list for the third floor invertebrate section (51 species): Honey Bee, Giant Grasshopper, Giant Prickly Stick Insect, Red-striped Stick Insect, Sulawesi Stick Insect, Spiny Dragon Head, African Twig Mantis, Malayan Jungle Nymph, Giant Spiny Stick, Leaf Insect, Walking Bean, Leaf-cutter Ant, Black Weaver Ant, Giant Meal Beetle, Beckeri’s Giant Beetle, Taxicab Beetle, Derbyan’s Buffalo Beetle, Jade-headed Buffalo Beetle, Hologram Beetle, Emerald Flower Beetle, Cyan-blue Flower Beetle, Giant Flower Beetle, White-spot Assassin Bug, Peppered Roach, Warty Glowspot Cockroach, Madagascar Hissing Cockroach, Orange Head Cockroach, Halloween Hisser, Whip Spider, Southern Black Widow, Zebra Spider, Brazilian Salmon Tarantula, Brazilian Black Tarantula, Trinidad Chevron Tarantula, Costa Rica Tiger-rump Tarantula, Chilean Rose Tarantula, Giant White-knee Tarantula, Deathstalker, Flat Rock Scorpion, Giant Whip Scorpion, Black Cameroon Train, Giant Millipede, Tanzania Green-banded Millipede, Hermit Crab, Giant Zanzibar Snail, Asian Apple Snail, Giant Tower Cap Snail, White Flame Snail, Crystal Bee Shrimp, Opossum Shrimp and Bamboo Shrimp.
 
Note that the third-floor invertebrate and amphibian section within the Zoo Aquarium is currently closed due to significant construction work.

Any idea when the floor is due to reopen?

Unfortunately not - the whole aquarium is being comprehensively refurbished, so there is every chance that once the amphibian/invert floor reopens another large chunk of the building will close in turn.
 
Ah, that would prove somewhat of an issue. :confused: My plan was to spend a full day at the zoo and visit the aquarium for half a day. Thinking about it I can sacrifice the amphibian and invert hall but ideally not miss the fish nor the reptiles as for some target species.

It seems I'll have to include the aquarium on my big trip in the coming years if I am to miss out on a good chunk of the building.

Thanks for the heads up @TeaLovingDave it's much appreciated
