[EBOOK] Arthropod Collection and Identification Field and Laboratory Techniques, Timothy J. Gibb, Ph.D. Christian V. Oscto. Ph.D., Entomologists Purdue University

More than 100 years have passed since C. V. Riley (1892) published Directions for Collecting and Preserving Insects. That work marked the starting point in North America of publications on the collection, preservation, and curation of insects and mites. Many of these works are now unavailable, and some of the concepts contained in them involve obsolete technology.

In 1986, Insects and Mites: Techniques for Collection and Preservation (Stevskal et. al., 1986) was published by the u.s. Department of Agriculture. The book was written by George Stcvskal, a research entomologist specializing in the taxonomy of Diprera, William Murphy, information specialist; and Edna 1 loover. a materials processor for the Systematic Entomology Laboratory. Their avid interest in collecting and curating insects is contagious and much of their original work is reflected throughout this book. Michael E. Schautt published an electronic version of the original text together with sev eral useful updates. We recognize his v aluable contributions in the printed publication of this text.

In Arthropod Collection and Identification Techniques, we have updated information and techniques as well as added new material to make die information more useable and complete. This book describes effective methods and equipment for collecting, identifying, rearing, examining, and preserving insects and mites and for storing and caring for specimens in collection. It also provides instructions for the construction of many kinds of collecting equipment, traps, rearing cages, and storage units, as well as updated and illustrated keys for identification of the classes of arthropods anti the orders of insects. Such information nor only aids hobbyists and professionals in preparing insect collections, but it has become essential in documenting and standardizing tile collection of entomological evidence in forensic as well as pest management sciences.

We thank the Entomological Society of America for original IV encouraging us to prepare this book. A number of colleagues, including (Jordon Gordh. David I Icadrick, James MeMurtrv. Thomas Baker, and David I lawks provided useful comments on the rev ised text.

We hope that this work will be a useful reference and resource for anyone fascinated by the work of “bugs."
