Lucy’s drawer, tray by tray
Tap a tray to look closer.
These are the 39 species in the entomological drawer of Lucy Garcia Salik, PhD, our scientific lead, in the order of her catalog. Each tray gives the scientific name, who first described the species, and where it lives.
Photos marked Reference photo come from museum collections and open-licence archives, credited on each page, until Lucy photographs her own specimens. The drawer travels to some pop-ups; what Lucy brings varies from one pop-up to the next.
Every species in the drawer can be ordered framed and mounted by Lucy. See the Shop.

From drawer to display
Specimens rest in a humid chamber until their wings soften.
Then each one is pinned under paper strips to dry flat.
