Invertebrates at Our Zoo

Take a walk among the butterflies. Marvel at the glow-in-the-dark scorpions. These are just a few of the invertebrates you'll see at the Saint Louis Zoo.

You'll find more than 100 species of insects, spiders, centipedes, and other spineless wonders in the Monsanto Insectarium.
