The Entomological Collection of the Museum of Freshwater Fish and Invertebrates has more than 40,000 specimens divided into a wet collection and a dry collection, focused mainly on groups of aquatic insects, although it also has a large number of moths from the higher areas of Chiriquí province. The entomological collection was established in 2008 by Dr. Juan Bernal (R.I.P.), in order to collect information about the entomofauna of western Panama.
