Insectarium

We spent last week in New Orleans for SIGGRAPH where we were artists in residence.  We got there a few days early to check out Louisiana; one of the places we visited was the Audubon Insectarium.  What is an Insectarium you ask? Well it is like an aquarium or zoo, except focused on insects.  They did not have as many live specimens as I would have liked but they had a whole room near the end of the exhibition covered wall to wall in prepared specimens, laid out in a very artistic manner.

They were drawing with bugs.  This is the part I really enjoyed.  You can see more of my photos in this Flickr set.
