Overview

The Colorado Plateau Museum of Arthropod Biodiversity (CPMAB) is one of the museums operated by the Department of Biological Sciences at Northern Arizona University. The museum houses an arthropod collection of over 250,000 specimens, primarily from the western United States and Mexico. Our geographic areas of focus are the Colorado Plateau and adjacent regions. The major goal of the museum is to make the collection more relevant to ecologists, especially those working on projects related to issues of conservation and biodiversity.

We offer entomological consultation for NAU students, staff, and faculty.  We also provide free extension service for the public regarding identification of insect and spider pests as well as "bugs" that people are just curious in knowing about.
