Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Large Ohio and Arctic Butterfly Collection Received

The Dave Parshall collection was presented to OSU in October 2015.

On October 15th the Triplehorn Insect Collection received the David Parshall Butterfly Collection, a gift of over 50,000 pinned specimens, plus many thousands more preserved in envelopes. This is a first-rate scientific collection of mostly Arctic and Ohio butterflies, but it also includes specimens from other states in the USA.

We wrote about the Parshall collection and about the moving of the Parshall collection to OSU on our collection blog, Pinning Block. Check it out!
