By YAZREEN HARON
THE nation’s very first Insect Zoo was launched by Deputy Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Sulaiman Abdul Rahman at the Zoo Negara last weekend.
The new attraction offers visitors a glimpse at more than 200 species of insects from all over the world.
Some of the rare insects that can be found in the Insect Zoo are the Orchid Mantis, Dead Leaf Mantis and the Man-Faced Bug.
Come one, come all: This giant ladybug houses Zoo Negara’s Insect Zoo. “I hope our national zoo’s dream to reach international standard by 2015 will become a reality,” said Sulaiman.
Also present at the launch were Malaysian Zoological Society chairman Datuk Ismail Hutson and Zoo Negara director Dr Mohamad Ngah.
