Reception: Thursday, October 9: 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm With an estimated one million different species, insects are the most diverse group of organisms on Earth. In order to identify such a vast array of species, taxonomists rely on the exquisitely accurate illustrations of the insect’s complex anatomy. It is this meticulous design that determines each individual species’ identity. Based on the Entomology course “Scientific Illustration of Insects (ENT 5051),” this exhibition displays examples ranging from delicately hand-drawn illustrations from of the early twentieth century to digital artwork design by today’s University of Minnesota students.
