Transcription: The Department of Insects and Spiders receives, mounts, and classifies thousands of insect specimens for addition to the study collections and for exhibit in the hall of insect life. If not needed for immediate display, the insects are stored in the department. This tarantula entered the country as a stowaway on a banana boat and was sent to the department for study. Another unwelcome visitor who came in similar fashion is this cockroach from the tropics.
