Our strengths are Apoidea, Neotropical Coleoptera (especially Staphylinidae and Hydrophiloidea), Mecoptera, Tiipuloidea, and fossil insects. We have digitized approximately 1,500,000 individual specimens including most of our Apoidea and Staphylinidae, Orthoptera, and various other taxa as well as virtually all new specimens added to the collection since 1995.&#13;
The snapshot reflected here consists of only records of Curculionoidea, ingested directly from the Specify 7 instance.&#13;
