Audubon Insectarium, Insect museum in downtown New Orleans, Louisiana, United States.

The Audubon Insectarium is an entomology museum with more than 50 live exhibits, now housed at the site of the Audubon Aquarium after reopening on June 8, 2023. Its entrance is a silver-grey metal archway with a cutout butterfly silhouette above a dark sign reading "Audubon Insectarium", set into a pale stone facade. Inside, displays range from live beetles, cockroaches, wasps, bees, ants and termites to a butterfly garden.

The Insectarium opened on June 13, 2008, on the first floor of the U.S. Custom House Federal Building, with more than 50 live exhibits across 23,000 square feet. In 2009 it received the Thea Award for Outstanding Achievement in a Science Center. It closed temporarily in September 2020 because of revenue shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic, and reopened on June 8, 2023, at the site of the Audubon Aquarium.

The insect-tasting counter serves worms and crickets, including worm toffee made with insect legs and skewers for dipping into a melted chocolate fountain. The museum displays thousands of live insects such as beetles, cockroaches, wasps, bees, ants and termites.

The Insectarium reopened on June 8, 2023, at the site of the Audubon Aquarium, so the entrance now sits beside the aquarium rather than in the U.S. Custom House. Look for the metal archway with the butterfly cutout and the "Audubon Insectarium" sign above the recessed doorway. The museum closed in September 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic before the move.

The museum's bug-tasting counter served worms, including crickets and mealworms on sticks for dipping in a melted chocolate fountain, plus worm toffee made with insect legs. The Insectarium won the 2009 Thea Award for Outstanding Achievement in a Science Center. It reopened on June 8, 2023, after moving from the U.S. Custom House to the Audubon Aquarium site.
