A collection of 18 preserved natural enemy specimens are available for UCCE and UC Master Gardener programs to borrow for use in training others your community on biological control. An information sheet will also be included with links to the associated natural enemy gallery pages for each specimen.
Please fill out the form below once you have already started planning your training. We suggest you submit your request at least 2 months in advance to ensure the collection is available and we have time to ship it. If you will be conducting multiple training events using the collection, submit a separate form for each event date.
You are responsible for shipping the collection back to UC IPM directly following your training event and are also required to pay return shipping costs.
We will respond within 10 business days to confirm your request.
Contact UC IPM at ucipm-community@ucanr.edu if you have questions.
