Athanasios Koutroumbas Insect Museum, also known as the Entomological Museum, is a museum in Volos, Magnesia, Greece.
It includes more than 100,000 specimens of more than 35,000 species, subspecies and breeds.[1]
The greatest number is Lepidoptera. One of its rare or unique specimens is one of the largest moths in the world, Thysania agrippina, of North America with a wingspan of 37-40 cm.[2] Note, however, that the largest known specimen of Thysania agrippina, as of March 2000 according to one source, was one of almost 30 cm (12 in) wingspan, in Brazil.[3]
It is claimed to be the only museum "of its kind in Greece and one of the best in the Balkans".[2]
