| Abstract: | The Bavarian State Collection of Zoology (Zoologische Staatssammlung München, ZSM) collection of butterflies and moths actually includes about 6,000,000-7,000,000 specimens, representing 80,000-100,000 species, stored in about 50,000 drawers. Many other private collections have already been donated to the ZSM, but are currently still under the curation of the private owners. Further 2,000,000-3,000,000 specimens (museum Thomas Witt) are associated - as a public foundation – to the state collections, and are professionally curated by a scientist (Dr. W. Speidel). Hence, this association of Lepidoptera collections in Munich is by far the largest collection of butterflies and moths in Germany, and also on international scale it is one of the most outstanding and important collections.
