The London Natural History Museum's API is exciting because it allows the public and researchers to peer into the collection from around the world, seeing data and patterns that aren't visible even on a visit to the museum. You can search by collector to see the specimens collected by giants of natural history, like Carl Linnaeus and Charles Darwin. This graph shows a sampling of the museum's mosquito specimens with year and location data collected from 1892 to the present.
