Contact us We welcome visits to the museum, and appointments can be made through Doug Yanega, the Senior Museum Scientist. While we do not have public displays within the museum, there are some display cases in our building and the Entomology Department building nearby which are open to public viewing. In essence, while we are technically "open to the public", we serve a different function than a typical public museum; if you visit with the intent of seeing insect displays, you will likely be disappointed, but if you have an insect that you need identified, we'll be happy to help. Quick, routine IDs are generally free (and see the "Insect FAQ" link to the left), but anything that takes time to answer is subject to our fee schedule. For information on our identification fees, or if you wish to submit digital photos for ID, please see the Museum's page on Diagnostic and Identification Services; please do NOT send requests for ID to our personal e-mail. If you have spider-related questions, please visit UCR's spider web pages first. Specialists are invited to visit the Museum for research purposes, and funds might be available if a visitor intends to curate specimens in the collection. Exchanges of specimens are also desired, and we sometimes accept donations of specimens (potential donations are subject to review by administrators). Museum staff are also available to do identifications or field work upon request, but UC policy requires that such activities are fee-based. Members of the public may visit the museum in person for help with identification of specimens, but cannot work in the museum without supervision, and for anything other than routine IDs (such as for commercial purposes or for screening samples that may contain human parasites), a fee must be paid, and should be agreed upon in advance.
