Insects & Allies

 

The Royal BC Museum’s Entomology collection represents over 50 orders. Strengths of the collection includes Odonata (dragonflies), macro-Lepidoptera (butterflies and large moths), Vespidae (yellowjacket and related wasps), Apidae (especially bumble bees), some Coleoptera (beetles—especially Carabidae and Cerambycidae), Hemiptera (at least Heteroptera—true bugs), Orthoptera (grasshoppers and crickets), some Diptera (true flies—at least Asilidae) and Araneae (spiders). Much of the collection remains to be described and is not yet available through the public catalogue.
