Other/Behind-The-Scenes
Northern Tuatara - Behind-the scenes. Confirmed by a conversation with a keeper.

Cuban Green Roach (Panchlora nivea) - There is a spot in the insectarium where you can see behind-the-scenes. There were sevral terrariums, some listed with species not found on exhibit. I did not record these, and this is the only species I remember seeing there.

American Burying Beetle (Nicrophorus americanus) - According to signs scattered around the zoo, STL runs a breeding program for these Critically Endangered beetles. There are none on exhibit, so I assume the beetles are behind-the-scenes.

_______________________________________________________________________________

*? The species was signed next to a bunch of damaged book pages wrapped in plastic wrap. I do not know if ti was simply to show the damage the species can do, or if it was actually on display.

**? The species was signed next to terrarium containing pupas. Don't know weather the pupas were real or not.

***STL's collection includes several subspecies. Subspecies list available on request.

Is the free-flight aviary in the bird garden closed?

What has taken the place of those species? Are there any new species not on my list that are now exhibited?
 
Do they no longer have the lorikeets at the Children's zoo?
If you just visited jayjds2, I suspect the mentioned birds were inside for the winter
Also they have Partula snails which are usually seen though not labeled inside the insectarium
 
The free-flight aviary you mention is now home to a pair of red-billed blue magpies. This is a new addition to the zoo- signage for all other species was removed. I did not mention any species which I know were off exhibit for just the winter.

Some sort of buttonquail was with the Edwards’ pheasants. A cedar waxwing was also a new addition to the Bird House- currently unsigned.

There was a western pygmy rattlesnake with the Ozark hellbender, which is where the mud turtle was on my last visit. I don’t recall any other new species.

Green anaconda and king eider were also gone. The entire set of lake exhibits on Historic Hill in between the bird and reptile houses no longer exist.

Was the Cedar Waxwing in that (previously empty) backyard-like exhibit?

It's a shame that the King Eider is gone.
