Among the organisms for which requests have been made (170 to date) are: insects, millipedes, mites, scorpions, spiders, ticks, snails, and protozoan malaria parasites. They were requested for a variety of studies, including insecticidal tests, biological control investigations with parasites and predators, genetic studies, and ant colonies, scorpions, and spiders for both scientific studies and as pets.
