NEON, the National Ecological Observatory Network, is a continental-scale observation facility. Standardized sample and data collection is performed across 81 field sites spread throughout 20 ecoclimatic domains within the United States. NEON generates a total of 182 data products and 57 unique collections of physical samples. The NEON Biorepository houses physical samples and their data and makes them publicly available to the research community. We first outline the scope of NEON and the collections at the biorepository in terms of data and sample types and their availability. Second, we provide a brief survey of previous and ongoing entomological research utilizing NEON data and samples. Finally, we outline several strengths and opportunities for continued research use to the entomological community along with ways to access these resources, particularly through our data portal https://biorepo.neonscience.org.
