Interested in having insects for your classroom?

The CSUEB insect zoo is up and running. We currently have Madagascar hissing cockroaches and Vietnamese walking sticks ready for travel! You can request a visit from our undergraduate insect wranglers and their insects or borrow the insects directly yourself. Along with our critters we provide handouts and posters detailing the basic facts about each insect, take a tour of our insect zoo here. Pick up and drop off must occur during normal business hours. The use of insects is free, if possible we ask for a $50 donation which you can make here. All donated funds will be used to support the maintenance of the insect zoo and the training of undergraduate insect wranglers.
