The Insect Ecology Exhibition Hall displays 22 living species including beetles, spiders, and reptiles, and offers various attractions such as the opportunity to touch insects directly.

Kim Wang-sik, head of the Sericulture and Insect Business Office of Gyeongbuk Province, said, "Through this special exhibition, we hope visitors will feel the importance of preserving endangered animals disappearing around the world and their ecosystems."
