On October 15^th 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!
