Interested in having insects for your classroom
​or for a private event?

The CSUEB insect zoo is up and running. We currently have Australian walking sticks, Madagascar hissing cockroaches and Vietnamese walking sticks ready for travel! You can request a visit from our undergraduate insect wranglers or borrow the insects directly yourself (if you are a teacher).

​Along with our critters we provide handouts and posters detailing the basic facts about each insect, take a tour of our insect zoo here.

​For teachers, the use of insects is free, if possible we ask for a $50 donation which you can make here. For private events (like birthday parties) we charge $100 for a two hour visit. All donated funds will be used to support the maintenance of the insect zoo and the training of undergraduate insect wranglers. 

Please email the following if information to nazzy.pakpour@csueastbay.edu
