Ants are social insects that live in colonies of between a dozen individuals and millions of workers. Discover the tiny world and the variety of shapes, forms and diets of these fascinating insects!
Did you know that insects can smell? Discover how they do this and how we research them. We breed butterflies, grasshoppers and flies and explore their sense of smell. Test your own nose in fun competitions.
Many living creatures use scents to communicate with each other. Although the human nose cannot detect many of these substances, we are still able to detect and analyze them using state-of-the-art technology.
