We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to the University of Macau, Dr Leong, and his team, who took the initiative to return the late Dr Emmett R. Easton’s invaluable insect collection from the United States to Macau.

Their dedication has not only preserved a significant piece of scientific heritage but also restored it to its rightful place. We commend the seamless organisation of the exhibition, which beautifully showcases the collection and engages the public with the wonders of entomology. Furthermore, the meticulous documentation of 135 new insect records for Macau is a groundbreaking achievement, with some specimens potentially serving as historical relics that offer insights into Macau’s ecological past. This collective endeavour exemplifies collaboration, passion, and a deep commitment to cultural and scientific enrichment. Thank you for making this possible.
