A collaborative effort to survey the bark and ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) of Thailand has been undertaken by reasearchers from Michigan State University's Holistic Insect Systematics Laboratory and Chiang Mai University. This educational poster on the scolytines of Thailand is being presented as a gift to the Thai National Parks for their assistance with this research effort. The poster contains both Thai and Engligh text and will be displyed in the vistor centers at national parks throughout Thailand, providing a window into the facinating world of tropical scolytine diversity.


Species 1: Coleoptera Curculionidae (bark beetle, ambrosia beetle)
