“The Intriguing World of Insects” features over one thousand specimens from the Essig Museum of Entomology at the University of California, Berkeley. The Essig Museum is home to a collection of over 5,000,000 terrestrial arthropods. From 1939 to 1999, the California Insect Survey generated a large number of specimens which represent the terrestrial arthropod fauna of the state, and the collection has served as a repository for the research collections of students of systematics at UC Berkeley as well. See “The Intriguing World of Insects” on display, pre-security, in the International Terminal. http://bit.ly/IntriguingInsects
