Pin it, pose it, dry it: After collection, most adult, hard-bodies insects are killed by chemical agents or freezing. While still flexible, the specimen is then pinned, posed, dried, labelled, identified and stored in foam-lined trays inside a glass-topped drawer. Other species, depending on size and body type, will be stored in a variety of ways including envelopes, jars and slides.
The Purdue Entomological Research Collection (PERC) contains over 1.3 million prepared specimens, representing approximately 140,000 insect species, and supports research, extension, teaching, and outreach in the Department of Entomology at @PurdueUniversity , midwestern United States, and globally.
With approximately two-thirds of our specimens from Indiana, the PERC is the largest entomological collection in the State and one of the most significant resources for biodiversity research on regional insects and related arthropods.
