The U.S. National Science Foundation and iDigBio are required to collect information on use of digitized collections-based specimen data. Please help us meet this requirement every time you use this search portal. Sustainability of the national digitization effort depends on evidence of data use! Maybe later.

Snow Entomological Museum Collection

Specimen Records: 1,364,770
Media Records: 0
iDigBio Last Ingested Date: 2025-03-24

SEMC (Snow Entomological Museum Collection) comprises nearly 5 million pinned insect specimens. 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.
