Does anyone know what species of live insects they house, this place seems quite intresting. The only species I'm aware of are the species above, orchid mantis, blue morpho, monarch, umtali flower beetle, goliathus-goliathus, black beauty insects, frog beetles and some sort of blue stick insect. I apologize if I ask too many questions

They have a lot of different species of butterflies. They have also Halloween hissing cockroaches and Jungle Nymphs. They also have a colony of ants. That is all I remember.
