Welcome to MSU Entomology’s Bug House where we showcase insects, some of Earth's most numerous creatures.
  • Did you know there are more kinds of beetles in Michigan than there are varieties of birds on Earth?
  • Did you know that a cricket’s ears are on its knees and flies have taste buds on their feet?
  • How about that an ant can lift 50 times its own weight, the equivalent of a human lifting two small cars?

A visit to the Bug House will explain all these fascinating facts and more. In addition to viewing the amazing pinned displays, you’ll have the opportunity to get up-close and personal with a whole room of creepy crawlers. They are the true stars of the Bug House. Tours are designed for all ages in groups of 30 or less. There is a fee associated with this program. The MSU Bug House is located in rooms 146 &147 of the Natural Science Building. Make your reservation today by calling (517) 355-4662
