Corner in beetles fuels Kansas university lore
The Kansas State University tale centers on Professor Snow of Wallace county in 1878 who, with two student conspirators, hunted the rare tiger beetle Amblychila cylindriformis. Their three month expedition yielded a thousand beetles, funding the students’ education and building a global collection. Snow held a corner on the species, selling beetles to finance the project and leave the head tiger species scarce. The story notes the beetle’s rarity and the university’s enduring worldwide renown for its vast collection.
