This collection consists of over 26,000 individuals representing >1,100 species.
The strengths of this collection are that it is comprised primarily of moths, the
specimens were all collected at a single site during a 10 year period, the
collection is of extremely high quality and was made by a collector of
extraordinary expertise.
The collection includes information of catch times (time of day,
month and year) and method of collection (reared, light trap, bait, etc); host
plant information is preserved with certain species, as are life stage forms
(freeze dried larvae and pupae). The collection is fully catalogued.
The collection is available for research use; however, we are not able at this
time to make loan of any specimens.

The catalog information was compiled by Dr. F. Lance Wallace of The Citadel, Charleston SC. The current WWW site for this catalog is temporary; it will be relocated to a Department of Biological Sciences Home Page as soon as that home page is constructed. Pointers to the biology home page will be maintained on both the zebrafish home page and the University of South Carolina home page; a pointer to the collection will also be placed on the University of South Carolina home page.
