Invertebrates
at Glasgow Zoopark
The
Invertebrate collection at Calderpark was started by David Hughes
in the mid-1980s with the Glasgow Garden Festival in mind. The award
winning Hugh Fraser Tropicarium , an extremely large and
impressive Orchid and Butterfly House resulted. Unfortunately, for
financial reasons it has not proved possible, at least to date,
to re-erect this building at the Zoopark, although a remnant of
the invertebrate collection remains and is an integral part of our
education provision.
The
following specimens are maintained under the day-to-day supervision
of volunteer Mrs Gila Allan .
