From Nature's chain whatever link you strike,
Tenth or ten thousandth, breaks the chain alike.
Alexander Pope

The Collection of Arthropods including those at the Experiment Stations in Tifton and Griffin and the P.W. Fattig Insect Collection on the University campus at Athens, represent the largest systematic collection of its kind in the State. There are more than 650,000 pinned, 129,000 slide mounts and 50,000 alcohol preserved specimens. The primary focus is insects from the southeastern United States. The systematic resource represented by these collections is fundamental to basic and applied research at the University of Georgia as well as other institutions throughout the world.

The Arthropods Collection is part of the Entomology Department.
