[Taxacom] Herbarium = Insectarium?

[Steve Halford]

In my experience, an "insectarium" (or insectary) is more nearly
equivalent to a greenhouse -- a place where insects are raised.  If
you define "herbarium" as a place for storage of preserved or dried
plants (not a completely accurate definition, I admit) then museum or
insect collection would be more appropriate.
