Insects in the Hallway in Amherst, Massachusetts

Otherwise known as the University of Massachusetts Entomology Collection, this miniature museum is home to a vast array of insects both alive and deceased.

With rather quiet hissing cockroaches on the left and beautifully taxidermied fluorescent butterflies on the right, the UMass entomology collection is a place to ponder bugs. Not recommended for the squeamish; it's a notable spot for anyone interested in entomology, or just dead things. Not to mention the creaky floors and odd, historical photographs, this old building is a stark contrast from the modern John W. Olver Design Building towering right next door.
