Newfoundland Insectarium

Newfoundland & Labrador


If you've got time to kill in Deer Lake, you could make like local families and come to this insect museum, which fights the chill outside with a tropical greenhouse that houses some 1000 butterflies. You can also find a glass beehive, leafcutter ant colony and plenty of other six-legged specimens.
