Quick Thank You!

Many thanks to all of you that have donated to my little adventure into the unknown. I just got back from the big EntSoc Annual Conference and then Thanksgiving with the family. (Driving back home yesterday I collected two beaver beetles off a road killed beaver in Illinois!!! So exciting!).

As a Thank You here is a link to my 2 page handout: How to Make an Insect Collection. Feel free to print, copy, and share it with whomever you like. If you're looking for a holiday gift for an inquisitive person (no matter what the age), give them this handout and set them on their way! Or you could bundle together an entomology kit (this handout, insect pins, and a field guide).

More to come later this week.

Cheers,

Mike
