Frogs, lizards and the critically endangered Lord Howe Island stick insect will get a brief moment in the spotlight during Melbourne Museum’s newest exhibition.Science On Show is returning to Melbourne Museum for the first time since 2019.“What we bring up for Science Week are animals that people don’t really get to see in front of house,” Life Exhibits manager Maik Fiedel said on Friday.
The animals on display will include geckos, frogs, small lizards and the critically endangered Lord Howe Island stick insect. The animals are all part of the museum’s collection and conservation efforts but are rarely on public display.“We use the opportunity to actually bring other things out, which we can talk about and draw attention to,” Fiedel said.
