About us

Igniting lifelong curiosity and awe for the natural world. Whether it’s through our unique education programs or the experiences and hands-on learning opportunities for all ages in our future facility, our efforts inspire an appreciation and understanding of “The Little Things That Run the World” (Edward O. Wilson, 1987).

As we continue to expand the reach and impact of our education programs, at the same time we’re moving toward the dream that started our organization more than a decade ago – opening a premier education facility featuring a tropical butterfly house and insectarium. There could not be a more exciting time to support our work.

Visitation Closed

We closed the Missoula Insectarium (on Front St.) on August 17th, 2019. Until we open our new facility, we currently do not have a destination for public visitation. We hope to see you in the new Missoula Butterfly House and Insectarium when we open in the summer of 2023. Visit our Calendar to see our weekly events and opportunities to meet some of our Bug Ambassadors.
