We went to an exhibit titled “Objects of Wonder: From the Collections of the National Museum of Natural History,” an interesting display of items that examines how scientists use the Smithsonian collections to enlighten and illuminate our understanding of nature and human culture. I took a few pictures, but most of it was more appropriate for viewing and reading about than photographing.

Unfortunately there was no explanation as to what all these insects were (well, they had the wrong information with the exhibit), but I think I would faint if I ever encountered any of those gigantic beetles.
