Manage episode 436936675 series 3303135
Washington State University's MT James Entomological Collection is the largest insect museum in the state, it holds around three million specimens.
In 2022, state legislators allocated $50,000 for the collection to digitize pollinators, like bees, moths, flies, butterflies and other insects that carry pollen.
Adding the 30,000 pollinators in WSU’s collection to a digital database will open up collaboration for researchers worldwide.
