Furman University Insect Collection (FU-FUIC)
FUIC is a small collection of almost 8000 specimens with a primary focus on Lepidoptera and Odonata. Our collection includes specimens from across the US, Canada, and Mexico, although the primary geographic focus is on South Carolina, USA. The oldest specimens are from the 1920’s, but more than half of the collection was made by John A. Snyder and Wade Worthen within the last 40 years.
