Collecting: Supplies
built 192 days ago
Basic collecting can be done by simply catching insects with your hands or a net and putting them into some type of jar. But, for more serious collecting, additional equipment is needed. Collecting supplies are somewhat dependent on the groups of insects being searched for and the time of day they are collected. Supplies needed for day collecting can be quite different than those used for night collecting. The same idea applies to collecting terrestrial insects versus aquatic insects, or flying insects versus soil dwelling insects. Indeed, it is difficult, if not impossible to collect all types of insects by an individual on a single collecting outing.
Learning from retailers and direct marketers is considered a great way to gain an education in collecting. Collectors may establish a relationship with a retailer that specializes in limited editions. Those on direct mail literature mailing lists can learn a great deal from the support that many dealers supply.
