COLLECTION RESOURCES - SURVEY 
 

The staff of the Entomology Section is interested in making our resources here available to a wider local audience. You can help us by answering these questions to help us gauge the interest and make appropriate plans to accommodate your needs.

An introduction to our resources can be found here. We have several compound and stereo dissecting microscopes available as well as computers and a laser printer.

Those who might like to become formal associates or volunteers to the section can read about those opportunities here.
 

1. If possible, would you be interested in visiting the Entomology Section on selected Saturdays, to work with the collection or the library available here? 

    Please note that the museum's main research library would not be open and available on Saturdays.
 

2. Would you be interested in a regular open-house, if you are not primarily interested in research?

    This would be for those that are interested to learn more about insects but without needing to have access to specific parts of the collection or other resources to aid their own projects.
 

3. What group of insects is your primary interest? 

    We might try to cater to lepidopterists on a different Saturday than we would to dipterists, coleopterists, hymenopterists, or those interested in other insect orders. This would be a contingency if the Section were to become so popular that the available space could not contain those interested to visit on a given Saturday.
 

4. Do you belong to the Lorquin Entomological Society?

    If not, you might consider joining and attending the meetings.  For more information click here.
 

5. Are you a student at a local University or Community College?

    If so, please indicate which institution you attend and what your course of study is.
 

6. Do you have additional comments or needs that we can address?
 
 

Please send your responses either to us by email or by regular mail to:
