Scale Insects and the National Collection reveals how Coccidae research shaped an enduring archive.

This concise history traces the development of scale insect study, the people who built the National Collection, and the methods used to preserve its valuable material for future science. The book surveys the early work, key figures, and turning points that defined American entomology’s handling of scale insects. It explains how researchers organized, identified, and preserved specimens, and how their efforts laid the groundwork for ongoing taxonomic and quarantine work. What you’ll experience

• Insights into preservation practices that helped safeguard type material and specimens for generations.
• Profiles of influential scientists and their contributions to taxonomy, illustrations, and practical controls.
