This article documents the severe and ongoing specimen neglect I witnessed over 12 months working at Florida State Collection of Arthropods. Please take a look and consider sharing this, it's extremely important for people to know how and why scientific material is being lost.
The loss of specimens, even less popular ones like centipedes, is a setback for science. Holotypes, which define entire species, are especially valuable and hard to replace.
