Special Event: Spook-Tour Collection Tours

On October 27 and 29, 2025, ASU Biocollections hosted a special Spook-Tober Tour event, inviting visitors to “creep, crawl, or fly” in for a frightfully delightful, Halloween-themed, behind-the-scenes experience of the entomology, vertebrate, and lichen collections. Participants explored the fascinating diversity of life and discovered how real organisms rival the monsters of myth, learning about unique life histories and the scientific stories behind specimens that are often overlooked or misunderstood.
