| Abstract: | With over 35 million specimens the National Insect Collection at the Smithsonian Institution (Smithsonian) is one of the largest entomological collections in the world. Specimens and their associated data are used as the basis for original scientific research on the nature, inter-relationships, origin, and evolution of insects and their allies. The large holdings of medically and agriculturally important species make parts of the collection especially significant as sources of systematic research and identification of insect pests.
