昆蟲標本館NTU Insect Museum
本館創立於1936年，是目前國內昆蟲標本館中最具歷史意義的典藏資產之一，其中不乏百年以上之老標本與無數珍貴標本。本館標本蒐藏源自19世紀初期，除了典藏日治時代以及戰後的標本外，1980年開始，在國家科學委員會的支持下，昆蟲學系師生積極展開臺灣昆蟲相調查，使得昆蟲標本數量激增。本館蒐藏之標本超過33萬個體，依性質可概分為模式標本、研究標本、教學標本、展示標本4類。為推廣昆蟲學知識，本館於2007年加入博物館群並設置特展室。展示主題包括昆蟲館紀事、世界昆蟲區、寬尾鳳蝶的發現、保育類昆蟲區、民俗昆蟲及文化區、標本教育區、採集教育區、昆蟲生態區、教師主題區及多媒體互動區等。本館豐富又珍貴的昆蟲標本蒐藏，是臺灣昆蟲學發展重要的科學與文化資產。
Founded in 1936, the NTU Insect Museum is one of the most significant insect museums in Taiwan historically, housing century-old and countless other invaluable specimens. The earliest collection items date back to the early 19th century, while others are from the Japanese colonial period and after World War II. With the support of the National Science Council, faculty and students in the Department of Entomology at NTU started to conduct a panoramic investigation of insects in Taiwan in 1980, leading to a spike in the number of specimens. The museum boasts a staggering number of over 330,000 specimens classified into four categories according to their purposes: type specimen, research specimen, teaching specimen, and display specimen. To make entomology more accessible to the public, the museum joined the NTU Museums in 2007 and set up a special exhibition room. Exhibition content includes a chronology of the museum, insects of the world, discovery of the broad-tailed swallowtail butterfly, endangered insect species, insect customs and culture, specimen education, specimen collection, insect ecology, specialty subjects of faculty, and an interactive multimedia section. The rich and priceless insect collection in the museum will serve to be an important piece of cultural and scientific heritage in Taiwan’s entomology domain.
臺北帝國大學昆蟲學·養蠶學教室與中央研究所農業部 (林心嵐繪製)
Entomology and Sericulture Laboratory, Taihoku Imperial University and Ministry of Agriculture, Central Research Institute
臺北帝國大學昆蟲學·養蠶學講座教室座落於蟾蜍山下，地理位置十分特別，且距離校本部還有一段距離，原因是其特殊的歷史背景造就如此特別的現象。當年的講座教授素木得一又兼任中央研究所農業部應用動物科科長，遂特別在應用動物科建物東側建立其講座教室。
The Entomology and Sericulture Laboratory is located at the foot of Mt. Chanchu, with a very specific geographical location. It is some distance away from the main campus as a result of its historical background. The Chair Professor back at the time, Shiraki Tokuichi, also served as the head of the Division of Applied Zoology of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Central Research Institute. Therefore, the Laboratory was builded next to the Division of Applied Zoology.
臺北帝國大學昆蟲學·養蠶學教室（出處：1936年，臺灣建築會誌第8輯第4號。）
Entomology and Sericulture Laboratory, Taihoku Imperial University
昆蟲館的歷史非常悠久，校舍內許多建築物件還未翻新，保留著濃厚歷史的韻味，昆蟲標本室及圖書室更是獨具特色。建築的外觀於臺北帝大建築群中比較異類的一棟，不像椰林大道上兩旁帝大時期建物主要採仿羅馬樣式，帶有點「現代主義特質」的建物，比較少裝飾性的設計。例如窗戶都是方形窗戶，沒有圓拱窗的設計，整體線條也比較水平垂直簡潔，甚至整個建築物捨棄對稱的設計。
The Entomology Building is rich in history. Many building pieces in it have not yet been renovated, which retain a strong sense of nostalgia. Among them, the Insect Museum and library truly stand out. The appearance of the building is quite different among the Taihoku Imperial University buildings. Unlike the Taihoku Imperial University buildings lining up on both sides of Royal Palm Boulevard which mostly adopt a Roman style, it has some “modernist characteristics” with fewer decorative designs. For example, the windows are all square ones as opposed to an arched design. Overall, the horizontal and vertical lines look relatively simple. The building’s design is asymmetrical.
昆蟲學·養蠶學教室裡的昆蟲標本室（出處：1936年，臺灣建築會誌第8輯第4號。）
Insect Specimen Room of the Entomology and Sericulture Laboratory
昆蟲標本室的設計是素木得一教授參考札幌農學校標本室設計，有靠著牆壁的標本櫃，並設計閣樓可供拿取放置高處的標本盒。早期典藏室的擺設是三面靠牆的標本櫃，中央有一檢視標本的長桌。由於典藏的昆蟲標本持續增加，現在的昆蟲標本室中央也擺置許多標本櫃。
The design of the insect specimen room is based on that of the specimen room of the Sapporo Agricultural College by Professor Shiraki Tokuichi. There are specimen cabinets against the wall, as well as an attic where specimen boxes are put in a high place. The specimen room from the early days was furnished with specimen cabinets against 3 walls, with a long table in the center for examining specimens. As the collection of insect specimens continues to grow, many specimen cabinets are also placed in the center of the insect specimen room.
百蝶圖
One Hundred Butterflies
畫作的作者為素木洋一，為臺北帝國大學「昆蟲學．養蠶學」講座教授素木得一的兒子。此畫作可能為繪製昆蟲學家的父親工作的場景，使用他擅長的油畫作為媒材，繪畫的風格並非寫實，屬於別具風格的抽象感，但仍然可以從中辨識出一些蝴蝶的種類。例如左數第三排第三行為目前臺灣的保育類裳鳳蝶屬的鳳蝶。右下角為一對大鳳蝶，左為雄蝶右為雌蝶。
The painting is created by Shiraki Yoichi, the son of the Chair Professor of the Entomology and Sericulture Lecture, Taihoku Imperial University, Shiraki Tokuichi. This painting may depict a scene of the work of his father, who was an entomologist. He chose his specialty, oil paintings, as the medium. The style of the painting is not realistic, but has a unique sense of abstraction. However, one can still identify some butterfly species from it. For example, the third column in the third row from the left is a swallowtail butterfly from the protected Troides genus. In the lower right corner is a pair of Great Mormons, with the male on the left and female on the right.

唯一天然紀念物昆蟲：寬尾鳳蝶（Papilio maraho）
The Only Natural Monument Insect: Broad-tailed Butterfly (Papilio maraho)
1932年宜蘭農林學校（今國立宜蘭大學）的教師鈴木利一於學生採集的昆蟲標本中發現此蝶，將標本寄給素木得一教授，請他鑑定種類。翌年，素木帶著他的助手中條道夫ㄧ同赴宜蘭採蝶，在烏帽子山下採到一隻該蝶的雄蝶。1934年素木以鈴木利一寄來的標本為正模標本，與中條所採的標本為副模標本，與楚南仁博一起發表新種。（提供：臺大校史館）
In 1932, Suzuki Toshikazu, a teacher at Giran Agriculture and Forestry College (now National Yilan University), found this butterfly among insect specimens collected by his students. He sent the specimen to Professor Shiraki Tokuichi, asking him to identify the species. The following year, Shiraki and his teaching assistant Chujo Michio went to Yilan to collect the butterfly, and they caught a male one at the foot of Mt. Eboshi. In 1934, Shiraki used the specimen sent by Suzuki as the holotype and the specimen collected by Chujo as the paratype, and published it as a new species together with Sonan Jinhaku.

防治害蟲有功的先驅者：素木得一
Pioneer in Pest Control: Shiraki Tokuichi
講座教授素木得一，並不像一般的昆蟲少年一樣從小熱愛昆蟲，而是因緣際會才踏上昆蟲研究之途。素木於札幌農學校松村松年教授的指導下專攻直翅目昆蟲的分類研究。來臺擔任農事試驗場技師後，投入水稻三化螟的調查及防治工作，更透過此研究主題成為日治時期首位以臺灣研究獲得博士學位的學者。素木對臺灣農業害蟲防治研究極具貢獻，引入害蟲天敵澳洲瓢蟲，成功防治吹綿介殼蟲，三年內完全去除蟲害，令人矚目。
Unlike teenagers who are into insects, Chair Professor Shiraki Tokuichi got into insect research by chance. Under the guidance of Professor Matsumura Shonen of Sapporo Agricultural College, Shiraki specialized in the taxonomy of Orthoptera. After coming to Taiwan as a technician at the Agriculture Experimental Station, he devoted himself to the investigation and control of Tryporyza incertulas. He became the first scholar to obtain a doctorate degree in Taiwan studies during the Japanese occupation period. Shiraki made great contributions to the research on agricultural pest control in Taiwan. He successfully kept the population of cottony cushion scale under control by introducing the natural enemy of the pest, Vedalia lady beetle. The pest was completely eliminated within three years, which was outstanding.
