Whitten Exhibit – Butterflies and Beetles

If you haven’t seen the latest portion of the Whitten Exhibit of beautiful creatures, you need to stop by the library and see them! What gorgeous butterflies and beetles from exotic places.

Pictured are Margaret and Richard Whitten clothed in specimens from their collections. The yellow tailed specimens on the left are Argema Mitrei, comet moths from Madagascar (now known as Malagasy Republic). The brown months are Attacus Atlas moths – the world’s largest moths from the Philippines.
