ISU Insect Collection

ephemeroptera chiloporter

The Iowa State Insect Collection (ISIC) is the only major entomological collection in the state of Iowa. Although the majority of specimens are from Iowa and the upper Midwest, the collection houses abundant representation from other North American localities. Significant international collections include specimens from Asia (especially India, Nepal, and Thailand), Central America (especially Costa Rica), South America (especially Patagonia), and Australasia.
