The Northern Forestry Centre's insect collection . : Fo133-2/2017-7E-PDF
"Northern Forestry Centre (NoFC) is home to a large insect (Arthropod) collection, including a pinned collection of approximately 150 000 specimens, 25 000 soft-bodied specimens (such as caterpillars, pupae, etc.) stored in alcohol, and 5 000 microscope slides of smaller organisms. Insects have a three-part body (head, thorax, and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes, and one pair of antennae. Many, but not all, also have wings. Included in the NoFC insect collection are beetles (Coleoptera), such as the mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae), and moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera), such as the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar dispar)"--P.
