The Chiayi University Insect Museum, located within Chiayi University, creates an interactive space where visitors can engage directly with insect ecosystems. The museum is divided into several sections including conservation insect models, a rotating colorful butterfly pillar, displays of domestic and international insect specimens, aquatic live insects, and a butterfly greenhouse garden. The most eye-catching attraction is the world’s first “Rotating Colorful Butterfly Pillar.”

The greenhouse garden features a unique circular design, simulating a mid-to-low altitude native forest habitat with up to 25 species of butterflies and the host plants needed for butterfly larvae. The interior of the sphere includes a circular pathway that allows visitors to stroll and admire butterflies up close.
