Taken on 10/13/22. The Insect Zoo is in a small room that has 19 exhibits.
It's great to see some photos of the Insect Zoo, but I was honestly expecting more from this facility. Many zoos don't even have displays of insects, but I thought that Oregon had more than 19 average-sized terrariums. Do you have a species list?
 
I did not take pictures of all the exhibit signs so I do not have a species list...definitely African millipede, Eastern lubber grasshopper, and two-spotted assassin bug. The center exhibit seen here is for a species of stick insect. I agree that the number of exhibits should have been greater!
 
@geomorph What did you think of the Oregon Zoo? How do its new polar bear, elephant, chimpanzee, and insect exhibits stack up with other ones that you have experienced? Would you consider this one of America's avant garde zoos after all of the renovations that have made over recent years? Or do they still have some major exhibits issues to fix?
