K&C Coleoptera Collections
K&C Coleoptera Collections
One of the Bembidion drawers in our collections, of the nearly 100 Bembidion species we have, around 90 of them are from the U.S. and Canada, the others were collected by Kabak in various regions of Russia, and by Connor Graham in England.
As of this time, our collections are housed in three separate locations; the first being Keizer, Oregon, where the majority of our Carabidae specimens are housed, the second being Monterey, California, where all Zopheridae, and most other non-carabid specimens are currently housed, and outside of Phoenix, Arizona, where the majority of the Tenebrionidae are held.
Combined, the KC&C Coleoptera Collections house roughly 800 species made up of around 10,000 material specimens and counting, as well as over 50,000 photographic specimens.
Through family contacts, old friends, iNaturalist, and other connections, together, we have been able to connect with a number of incredible beetle enthusiasts from all over the globe. Working around, and sometimes during school schedules, the two of us have been able to work and connect with these entomologists to organise trades, exchanges, and occasionally, a purchase of beetle specimens.
We are very grateful to anyone and everyone who has helped us in the behind the scenes of this large project, your informational, verbal, or material support is greatly appreciated!
