Insects

Specimens from the insect collection of Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778). Only about 1/3 of these specimens were in Linnaeus’ original collection, with the majority of the specimens added by the Linnean Society’s Founder, Sir James Edward Smith (1759-1828). Please note, the specimen names reflect the historical 'filed as' names that were attached to the specimens when they arrived at the Linnean Society, and do not necessarily correspond with the current/accepted names.
