Bug collection display

An online resource devoted to North American insects, spiders and their kin, offering identification, images, and information.

There’s an art to arranging collections like a pro. Here are a few pointers.

DIY Bug Board. Turn your kids into backyard scientists with their very own bug board! Great for studying insects or a homeschool science project!

I mentioned before how much I liked making an insect collection when I was in sixth grade, and I think I enjoyed it even more this time. The children did most of the actual hunting, but it was so exciting every time we found a new insect! There were a few other insects we would have liked to find: a katydid, a stick insect, a centipede (not an insect, but we still wanted one), and a bigger moth. But we really got most of the things we hoped to get, and we love the way our collection looks…

This listing is for 3 tiny collections, one of each size. It is a lucky dip but you are guaranteed a butterfly wing in the larger bottle. Collections may include wing, feather or shell or semi precious stone. If you have a preference please convo me and I'll do the best I can... The tiny bottles are sealed with a cork stopper and add an element of curiosity to your home.
