For the first time, twouniversities with strengths in research on insects and biodiversity have collaborated to organize a large-scale exhibition to introduce the richness and uniqueness of insect species in Vietnam.
This is the result of in-depth research, field surveys and elaborate collections by scientific groups from the two schools.
Giant Blue and Green Iridescent Butterfly
The exhibition attracted a large number of people and tourists.
The exhibition features over 150 photographs, illustrated posters and over 100 boxes of rare insect specimens, showcasing a wide range of butterflies, moths, beetles, dragonflies and cicadas.
Notable are large sword-shaped butterflies and emperor butterflies; giant beetles such as three-horned and five-horned beetles; rare species of forest dragonflies, endemic species found only in some deep forest areas of the Central Highlands.
More than 100 boxes of rare insect specimens are on display at the exhibition.
The dragonfly species was discovered by Dr. Phan Quoc Toan, Director of the Center for Insect and Parasitology Research, Duy Tan University, and named after the founder of Duy Tan University, Distinguished Teacher, Hero of Labor Le Cong Co, with the scientific name Coeliccia lecongco.
The exhibition not only helps the public better understand the biological and ecological characteristics and important roles of insects in nature and life – such as pollination, pest control, applications in medicine, food, art, biotechnology – but also conveys messages about environmental protection, climate change and biodiversity conservation.
