The Insect Information Office (IIO) is part of the Department of Entomology at The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES).

This office also provides arthropod management advice, tick identification, and referral for tick testing. Inquiries and samples can be submitted via phone, email, mail, and in person. More information about sample submission can be found in the Sample Submission section and in the IIO Brochure.
