At which

of their "over 200 locations" is it kept? Until seeing their Web site that you linked to I assumed they were a 100% cyber-university diploma mill as I get spam from them frequently. In fact, scrolling through their degree offerings, the closest thing I saw to any sort of biology was in health/medical sciences. I wonder if maybe you had another university in mind. If you can find a link pertaining to an insect collection they might have, please post it here.

It is a completely legit university and collection. I am a bit confused by the other comments! Mind you, they were nearly 10 years ago!

Happy searching,
Leah

I think we're outta luck, Michael.

I suspect this was a spurious comment. Notice johannabartley says "bug collection." Someone truly impressed with the greatness of a collection wouldn't likely call it a *bug* collection.

Great find!

They're great on ground beetles, thrips and moths. They will hopefully fill in some of the skimpier groups soon.
