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.
