Insects found in Inagi

Introducing insects collected in Inagi. Inagi City is blessed with a wide variety of environments, including thickets on hills, grasslands, paddy fields, ponds and rivers, cultivated land, and urban areas. In places where development has progressed, different species can now be seen due to changes in the environment. We also exhibit rare specimens such as the national butterfly Omurasaki, which has disappeared recently.
