PHILADELPHIA - In August, the Philadelphia Insectarium & Butterfly Pavilion was tragically robbed of 7,000 of its beloved insects - and Orkin stepped up to support. To help get the bugs back, Orkin implemented a match campaign with GoFundMe where it donated $1 per like and $5 per share on this social post about the effort.

On Saturday, Nov. 3, Orkin presented a check in the amount of $10,000 to the Philadelphia Insectarium & Butterfly Pavilion at its re-grand opening event, the Philadelphia Oddities Expo. 

Orkin says it is proud to support the Philadelphia Insectarium & Butterfly Pavilion, because they too, want to help educate the world’s future scientists, our youth, with fun and interactive resources to get them engaged.
