Weird, strange, bizarre, people & places to see in the US The Insectarium is the brainchild of Steve Kanya, head bugmeister and former cop, who turned to stamping out bugs instead of crime. Always fascinated with insects, he started displaying his �catch of the day� in the window of his exterminating business. The display attracted so much attention that he moved to a three story building so he could have his pest execution business on the ground floor and put the museum on the upper two floors. Today half a dozen school groups visit every day, and it takes a staff of ten just to manage the bugs and lead tours.
