Auburn University Museum of Natural History Entomology (AUMNH-ENT)
The AUMNH Entomology Collection was historically the Auburn University Entomology Museum (AUEM). Our collection of roughly half a million specimens has its strengths in: Formicidae, Chrysomelidae, Orthoptera, Simuliidae, and Siphonaptera of Alabama; Tabanidae, Scale Insects, and Ceratopogonidae. The geographic scope of our holdings extend beyond the Southeastern United States and reflects research interests of previous and current curators and affiliated persons. The data is managed through Specify.
