Michigan Tech Insect Collection Offers Regional History Lesson (As Told by Bugs)
A bored researcher, boxes of left-behind Husky homework and the painstakingly documented entomology specimens of a 1960s faculty member formed the chrysalis for the Michigan Technological University Insect Collection — a University first with transformative potential for those studying ecological and environmental sciences in the region. At 10,000 specimens and counting, Michigan Tech's digitized insect collection is relatively small. But its value is huge because of the unique historical perspective of the region you won't find anywhere else, said Tara Bal, an assistant professor of forest health in the College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science.
