thebrainscoop | Beetles, Mites, Cockroaches Oh My! [Insect Collection Tour] @thebrainscoop | Uploaded 8 years ago | Updated 16 minutes ago
The insect collection is the largest at The Field Museum, with more than 12 million specimens - only (only?!) 4 million of those are pinned in the dry collection. Crystal is in charge of all of them- no pressure. Want to search the zoological collections on your own? Look no further!: http://bit.ly/fmnhzoology
