Our Museum forms a unit together with the Zoological Institute of Greifswald University. Our collections are fundamental to scientific research (research collection) and students´ teaching (demonstration collection). Moreover, part of the demonstration collection is open to the public (exhibition). [Information of the supplier]
The entomological collections are of great historical importance and represent one of the best entomological resources in the United Kingdom. They began with the bequest by the Reverend Frederick W. Hope of his entire collection in 1849. The Hope Professors, Westwood, Poulton, Hale Carpenter and Varley also amassed large amounts of material, both through their own research, and from donations by other contemporary entomologists. ...

The Essig Museum of Entomology is a part of a consortium of museums on the UC Berkeley campus, the Berkeley Natural History Museums. Since 1880 some famous entomologists (e.g. E.O. Essig, P.D. Hurd, J.A. Powell) built up Essig Museum and the collections of insects for teaching and research. In addition to California material, the museum houses a large collection of specimens from the northern Neotropics. Extensive fieldwork in Mexico by museum faculty and staff has enabled the assembly of a large, extremely important collection of specimens from that country. ...

As part of the Papua Insects Foundation, the aim of this website is to provide organisations, scientist, students, museums and everyone interested, with actual information on the taxonomics and faunistics of the insect fauna of Papua. This includes checklists with the latest nomenclatorial views, pictures of the species, distribution maps (compiled from information as far as known from literature and collections) and a list with relevant literature. If available we will also give information and photographs of the types. Very important is to distinguish so called biodiversity hotspots, places or areas where the entomological fauna is of a very high richness and is therefore of great importance to nature conservation. The contributors of this website themselves are scientists or are in contact with specialists all over the world. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The Section of Invertebrate Zoology of Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh USA (CMNH) maintains resources for understanding the greatest radiation of life on earth, invertebrates. These resources include world class specimen collections and an extensive library. The insect collection contains an estimated 13 million specimens of which approximately 7.4 million are prepared, labeled and ready for study. The primary taxonomic strength is Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) and Coleoptera (beetles), but with strong collections in Diptera (flies), Siphonaptera (fleas), Odonata (dragonflies), Heteroptera (true bugs), Homoptera (aphids, cicadas, and leafhoppers), and Hymenoptera (sawflies and wasps). Geographic representation is worldwide, but with the most extensive coverage in North America, South America, the Caribbean region, and tropical Africa. The number of primary types exceeds 7,500 and most of those are Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. Two databases allows to search after specimen in the insect and crayfish collection of CMNH. ...

The entomology collection of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (LACM) has more than 5.8 million specimens of insects and spiders. It is the largest in Southern California and has specimens from all over the world. Entomology at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County goes back as far as 1913, when the Museum first opened. Research is focused on phorid flies (Phoridae, Diptera), Diptera of Central America, and about spider and hover flies of Los Angeles County. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The Laboratory of Arthropods, Palaeontological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences is dedicated to research on to fossil insects (Palaeoentomology). Fossil insect studies in Russia started just before the establishment of the Palaeontological Institute. They were initiated by a renowned entomologist A.V. Martynov (1879-1938), who became a founder of the Laboratory of Entomology in this Institute. During the years of its existence, the Laboratory of Arthropods accumulated the most extensive collection of fossil insects and arachnids comprising approximately 200,000 specimens and being one of the best collections in the World. ...

The purpose of this site is to provide electronic access to the collections in the University's E.H. Strickland Entomological Museum, one of the most significant insect collections in Canada. The collection contains approximately one million specimens and is made up of two sub-collections, the Research Collection and the Alberta Reference Collection. The Research Collection includes principally Nearctic insects, representing most orders and their major families. The beetle family (Carabidae) is especially well represented: it includes about 400,000 specimens principally from the Nearctic region, but with an important Neotropical component. The Reference Collection contains a few (one or two) representative specimens of most of the species of butterflies, moths, beetles and caddisflies known from Alberta. This website is a searchable database. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
