Insecta Cumbriensia
The information provided here is based on the 30,000 insect specimens that we have
so far catalogued on computer. This is not a complete catalogue of the insect collections
here at Tullie House, which contain some 150,000 specimens. There are also many
other Cumbrian specimens in other museums that we have yet to enter onto our database.
Two lists are provided - the first contains Cumbrian specimens only, whilst the
second provides details of all the catalogued insects in the Tullie House collections
as well as Cumbrian material that we know of held in other museums. The specimens
listed here are not a complete list of the species represented in our collections
and the Museum may also hold additional specimens of any of the listed species.
