Every summer it holds an insect exhibition that mesmerises insect-loving boys and girls. The museum has an especially world-class collection in that type of insect, which includes beetles, ladybird beetles and long-horned beetles. Ishihara became an assistant staff member in Kyushu University’s laboratory after graduating from the University of Tokyo. In 1945, immediately after the end of World War II, he assumed a post at the Ehime Prefectural Agriculture and Forestry School, the predecessor of Ehime University’s Faculty of Agriculture. The laboratory has organised a summer insect exhibition every year since 1997.
