- This week we’re unboxing the incredible Hercules Beetle! Despite their large size these beetles actually fly, aiding them in being valuable pollinators. As part of our Pollinator Palooza celebration, you can find them and many other beetles on display this June! Join us on Saturday, June 29th for our Pollinator Palooza Festival to learn more about beetles and other invertebrates as pollinators and their significant role on our planet! If you’d like to see more beetle unboxings from this series, let us know in the comments.
Beetles and other insects are shipped in containers like those shown in this video for safety reasons. During transport, our beetles are at a higher risk of injury if they have too much space, as they can shift and damage their body parts. To minimize these risks, the insects remain in these containers for as short a time as possible and are taken out on the same day they arrive at Butterfly Pavilion. The enclosures shown in these videos are also temporary, serving as quarantine spaces for a few days before the insects are moved to their more permanent and expansive habitats.
