The Atlas of Living Malaysia project comprises the records of pre-selected pinned insect specimens at the Natural History Museum, London. It includes representatives of over 5,000 species that occur in Malaysia and the surrounding regions, including material collected by Alfred Russel Wallace along with his personal collection.

Pinned insect specimens from the following 13 Orders were digitised: Blattodea, Coleoptera, Dermaptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Mantodea, Neuroptera, Odonata, Orthoptera, Phasmatodea, and Trichoptera.

Each specimen record has been published with an image capturing both the specimen and its associated labels and creating an inventory record with a unique identifier (Data Matrix barcode), taxon information and country level collection locality. Some specimens will have additional images capturing the reverse side of labels and/or additional views of the specimen (ventral and/or lateral).

The data resource is available using the link. Please search for the relevant taxa.

This collection was digitised as part of the Museum's Digital Collections Programme and the non-governmental organisation ECOMY (Ecotourism and Conservation Society of Malaysia).
