Insect collections are essential for studies of entomology.
We don't have a Museum of Comparative Zoology at UTSA, but we do have lots of insects around. To help start a permanent collection, each student will be required to collect insects, and extra credit will be given for additional specimens. The insect must be identified with two labels. On the first label, indicate the location where the insect was collected, the date, and your name. Each student must collect five insects.
