Terry Graff, the gallery's curator and deputy director, said this exhibition "reflects on the perception, value and multiple meanings of insects in our daily lives. It encourages contemplation of their integral and influential place in human culture, as revealed in history, mythology, philosophy, religion, and the arts."

The exhibition continues until Jan. 4, 2009.
