Island Natural Resources Several surveys of insects and arachnids on the Pribilof Islands were conducted in the late 1800s and early 1900s. W. L. McAtee (Preble and McAtee 1923) offers the most recent and comprehensive documentation of these surveys. His compilation of data reported 276 species of insects, arachnids, and chilopods on the Pribilof Islands. Specimens were collected from outdoor habitats as well as people, seals, and birds. McAtee recognized the role of ships from the south in introducing some species to the islands.
