Really enjoyed this one. I got to visit the aquarium on a visit the March before Katrina hit. The penguins are one of my favorites as well. We got to see them again when they were being housed at the Monterey Bay aquarium after Katrina.

Looks like something that would be more fun for kids or someone who never seen those animals before. The insectarium seems like a niche thing for people who have a specific interest, insects are usually thought of as a nuisance and icky

@@NOLADEEJ Dear NOLADEEJ, I appreciate your perspective on mixing insects from different continents in terrariums at the Insectarium in New Orleans. It's always great to engage in discussions about the choices made in these kinds of exhibits, and I'd like to offer some insights into why some institutions opt for mixed exhibits while others prefer biotope setups. Educational Value: Biotope exhibits aim to recreate specific natural environments, showcasing the intricate relationships between organisms, their habitats, and adaptations for survival. This approach can provide visitors with a deep understanding of how different species coexist in the wild and the delicate balance of ecosystems. Observing these natural interactions can be highly educational and inspire a greater appreciation for biodiversity. Conservation Awareness: Biotope displays often serve as powerful tools for raising awareness about conservation issues. By showcasing species from specific regions, visitors can learn about the unique challenges facing those ecosystems, such as habitat destruction, climate change, and endangered species. This can foster a sense of responsibility and a desire to protect these fragile environments. Scientific Study: Biotope exhibits can also be valuable for researchers and students. They offer controlled environments for studying specific ecosystems and the behaviors of the creatures within them. This research can contribute to our knowledge of these ecosystems and aid in conservation efforts. Ethical Considerations: Keeping species from different continents together in a confined space may raise ethical concerns about their well-being and the potential for unnatural interactions. Some mixed exhibits may inadvertently introduce diseases or parasites that wouldn't occur in nature. However, it's worth noting that mixed exhibits aren't without merit either. They can serve as engaging and eye-catching displays, capturing the attention of visitors who might not otherwise be drawn to the natural world. The "wow" factor of seeing colorful and exotic insects together can spark interest and curiosity, potentially encouraging people to learn more about these fascinating creatures and the importance of biodiversity. In the end, the choice between mixed and biotope exhibits depends on the goals and priorities of the institution. While biotope setups are typically more faithful to natural ecosystems and their educational value, mixed exhibits can also play a role in sparking interest and conversation about the diversity of life on Earth. It's essential to keep these considerations in mind when discussing the choices made in such exhibits and to continue promoting discussions about the best ways to educate and inspire the public about the wonders of the natural world. Sincerely, Oleksandr Dorokhov.
