The Florida State Collection of Arthropods (FSCA) began in 1915 as a resource for the newly created Florida State Plant Board. The mission of the Plant Board was (and is) to protect Florida’s native and commercially grown plants from harmful pests and disease. A major component of that mission was having the in-house expertise, tools, and resources to identify any and all arthropods causing damage to Florida’s agriculture or natural resources including those newly introduced into Florida from anywhere in the world.
