Back in 1996 Amira Mendieta-Eriks, who originally comes from Ecuador, and her husband Ewout Eriks, who studied Tropical Agriculture in the Netherlands, started their butterfly business "Neotropical Insects" in Lelydorp (district Wanica), a village near Paramaribo, the capital of Suriname, located in the coastal northern part of South America.
Direct naast het Insectenmuseum staat onze multifunctionele expositieruimte. In deze ruimte zullen er het hele jaar door verschillende kunstactiviteiten en exposities gehouden worden.
