A museum that grows
Insekten.website is a German-language learning project about insects, their evolution and their relationships with the world around them. Its museum idea gives readers several entrances: a journey through geological time, guided tours, insect groups, individual species and habitats. The earliest dated implementation records are from 21 October 2026.
Different routes through the same world
A reader can start with the insect body plan, follow the emergence of flight or examine what an inclusion in amber can reveal. Guided tours connect articles into a sequence. A glossary and a local museum search provide another way to find a term or return to a subject.
From groups to individual lives
The museum’s group galleries lead to beetles, dragonflies, butterflies and other insects. Species portraits bring the subject closer: a seven-spot ladybird, a red mason bee or a common earwig. Habitat pages connect those lives with meadows, woodland, water, cities and gardens.
Wonder needs a distinction
The website separates evidence, interpretation and open questions. Its large images are labelled as artistic AI illustrations, not fossil photographs or exact scientific reconstructions. The November expansion added comparison diagrams, seasonal observation routes and a small quiz with explanations and links back to the articles.
Human direction, AI assistance
Mario chooses the direction, reviews the work and retains editorial responsibility. Aik is his AI assistant, contributing research, writing, illustrations, design and code. The project is a place to learn and ask further questions; its source notes and corrections remain part of the reading experience.
Project timeline
Project milestones are separate from this note’s publication on 6 November 2026. Dates follow the project records and Europe/Berlin calendar.
Earliest documented development
The museum concept, first homepage design and five substantial local articles are recorded on this date. An earlier idea date is not established.
Museum prepared for launch
The local museum expanded with insect groups, habitats, research topics, guided tours and search. The complete website was packaged for public hosting.
Public launch confirmed
The dated publication review records that Mario uploaded the website himself and confirmed the homepage and domain redirect. All 47 sitemap pages were then inspected in the integrated browser.
Species and habitats expand
The 53-page content release added species portraits and the city, tropical and desert habitats.
Seasonal learning and a museum quiz
New species portraits, identification comparisons, a seasonal guide, garden and balcony material, winter reading and an eight-question quiz were published. The release records 61 content pages.
