A scientist who collects beetle specimens from the world’s disappearing wild habitats is like someone running around a burning art gallery, trying save some of the paintings. This is the analogy that Max Barclay, curator of beetles at the Natural History Museum in London, UK, uses to explain why museums must continue to trap and collect insects.
