Lonely Planet review for Museo Entomológico
Still not open to the general public at press time, biologists Jean Michel Maes and Joan Tellez have big plans to display the largest collection of Nicaraguan insects in the world. In the meantime, you can visit the Museo Entomológico by appointment only, although you may have to root through stacks of bug trays to find your favorite insect.
The specialty is Lucanidae, a genus of beetles where males usually display ferocious-looking pincers, but there are also heaps of butterflies and other more charismatic critters to peruse.
