Fifty-seven years ago the May family came to Colorado Springs and made this their headquarters. In the 1940's John May built a permanent Museum and headquarters building on their ranch nine miles southwest of Colorado Springs and one mile west of Highway 115.
It is near Fort Carson and today a replica of the Hercules Beetle of the West lndies marks the turnoff to the Museum. Over all these years this fabulous exhibition has been improved and enlarged. Even though the main collection contains over one hundred thousand invertebrates, about 8,000 are all that are shown to the general public because this is all a person can look at in one visit - even then some people spend two or three hours and return many times to see what they missed on previous visits.
