Mrs. Hsiao Niu-Ling donated 35 boxes of insect specimens collected by her late husband, Mr. 津田昌大, to the NTU Insect Museum. Professor Tsai Chi-Wei, curator of the museum, accompanied by retired professor Lo Shiao-Fung of the Department of Botany, went to Mrs. Hsiao’s residence in Tian-Mu to collect the specimens on January 25, 2022. A ceremony was later held at the NTU Insect Museum during which professor Lo and two younger sisters of Mrs. Hsiao officially donated the specimens to the Museum. Professor Hsiao Shu-Feng, Chair of the Department of Entomology at NTU, presented the certificate of appreciation to Mrs. Hsiao’s family. Mr. 津田 worked for a Japanese pharmaceutical company and was stationed in Taiwan. Due to his interest in butterflies, he collected butterflies around Taiwan island and made them into specimens. We greatly appreciate Mrs. Hsiao’s generosity in sharing these precious collections with us and making NTU Insect Museum their permanent residence.
