The vibrant colors and unusual nature of these specimens will spark your interest in entomology. Grades 4-12. $45 value.
Substitutions are occasionally made with similar insects.
Note: Most of these specimens are grade A1 quality, but some may have broken legs or antennae that need to be glued in place. At this low price, we are unable to guarantee specimen quality.
When this product arrived, my teenaged daughter ripped into it with enthusiasm. She had tried to pin bugs before, using methods taught to her by a local entomologist. However, when she tried to track down and buy her own materials it was nearly impossible to get things that worked. With this kit, everything was already there and it was easy for her to arrange everything. Even the insects were included. I really think that with minimal help she could have even used this kit when she was younger, but it kept her attention as a teen. Now that she has used this kit, my daughter feels more confident about pinning bugs she finds on her own. This is an important step in learning invertebrate zoology, whether that is taught as an extension of biology or as a course of its own. The product is well designed, complete, and easy to use! I highly recommend this product for bug enthusiasts of all ages!
