- Entomology Library
- The Comstock Memorial Library of Entomology was established in 1914, when the students of John Henry Comstock created a book fund in his honor. Later, Professor Comstock increased the fund by personal contribution and donated his books to the library. The primary subjects of this library are general and applied entomology; related areas include parasitology, medical entomology, ecology, zoological nomenclature, and allied orders of arthropods. The library has an extensive number of reprints, a collection of the departmental theses, and rare books.
- Insect Collection
The Cornell University Insect Collection traces its beginnings to the early years of Cornell. Professor Burton Green Wilder donated the first specimens in 1870. When John Henry Comstock began teaching entomology as a sophomore in 1871, he started the Cornell Insect Collection in his McGraw Tower room, where he worked as chimesmaster. In 1872, H.H. Smith donated specimens from Manlius New York, dutifully recorded by Comstock as Cornell University Collection Lot No. 1. The early years saw the Collection grow by addition of insects from the Cayuga Lake Basin, chiefly through the activities of Comstock and his students.
- Sarkaria Institute of Insect Physiology and Toxicology
At the Sarkaria Institute, our purpose is to:
1.) Conduct fundamental research on physiology and toxicology of insects
2.) Provide training of graduate and under-graduate students
3.) Offer a forum for the advancement of insect physiology and toxicology
