Lonely Planet review

This one-room museum houses an amazing collection of 13,000 butterflies, moths and other insects, stuck with pins and preserved in glass cases on the walls. Almost 10,000 of these are native to Honduras, including the world's largest moth (with a 30cm/11.8in wingspan), the most iridescent butterfly, and the one with the longest proboscis. The rest include the world's largest scorpion and heaviest insect - a quarter-pounder beetle (no cheese!).
