From a museological point of view, the Collection includes several nuclei of an educational-informative or strictly scientific nature. The Educational Entomology Collection occupies a building detached from the main body of the Department and includes entomological panels and boxes, wooden and book materials of historical and artistic interest attacked by termites, as well as beekeeping materials consisting of ancient hives and modern equipment for beekeeping. The Museum provides support for entomology students and is visited by school groups as part of the Department's Orientation activities.
The General Entomological Collection consists of over 600 entomological boxes kept in special cabinets. In recent years, they have been catalogued using taxonomic criteria. The general collection of the Section also includes some boxes containing exotic insects, kept at the Museum.
The Study Collections were created by professors and researchers of the systematics and biology of some groups of Mites or Insects and are mostly used as a support for the identification of recently collected material.

The Agricultural Entomology Collection is located in the former Institute of Agricultural Entomology, founded in 1960 within the Faculty of Agriculture, and now merged into the Department of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Sciences. The collection reflects the research areas developed, such as the main adversities of agricultural crops, the communities of arthropods and phytophagous insects of Sicilian forest environments, the study of the bee and wild Apoidea, as well as insects that feed on wood and paper material of historical and artistic interest.
