Dried, pinned, and labeled specimens of many of the most well-known orders. Good beginner's insect collection. Great for your school insect collection projects. Fulfills most of the teacher's requirements. Usually contains over 35-40 insects with about 8-9 major families. Each set is different but may include an assortment of Coleoptera (beetles), Lepidoptera (butterflies & moths), Odonata (dragonflies & damselflies), Orthoptera (grasshoppers & crickets), Diptera (flies & mosquitoes), Neuroptera (lacewings & ant lions), Hemiptera (true bugs), Homoptera (Cicadas, leaf hoppers, aphids), Phasmida (walking sticks), Dermaptera (earwigs), Dictyoptera (mantids and cockroaches) and Hymenoptera (ants, bees & wasps). Types of insects and quantities will vary, but will be approximately as shown in picture. Most of these are from the southwestern United States (Arizona and California), but many are fairly common elsewhere. These come in a throw-away cardboard box with foam bottom, and are meant to be put into your own collection box. **Due to extraordinarily high demand, this item quickly sells out and we are often forced to make this a waiting list item. Should these become a "waiting list item", the only way to be placed on the waiting list is to place your order online. This will "time stamp" your order and place you on the list in sequential order and the collections will be sent out accordingly. Seasonal item. Please be aware that these are a labor-intensive item and take a very long time to catch, pin, mount, dry, identify, label, sort and organize. The price for these is mainly for the labor that is put into them. As these are packaged in a precisely certain way to prevent breakage, we cannot accept returns unless the package has been unopened. (Due to the fact that they just cannot ever be re-packaged properly by an inexperienced person). Should any breaks occur during shipping, after the package has been opened, we will replace or refund the particular insect that is broken. Please let us know the date you need these. |
