DIY Insect Kit (Specimens Sold Separately)
DIY Insect Kit (Specimens Sold Separately)
READY TO SHIP
Spread professional-looking invertebrate specimens all by yourself! Each tool set contains everything you need to spread your own insects and arachnids at home. Specimens and instructions are sold here. This makes an amazing activity for people of all ages! Please supervise your children while using, use your best judgment based on the child’s abilities, and do not let babies or toddlers play with any component of this tool set.
Your tool set will be packed to order. Everything is assembled by hand, by a real person (me!) so if you need your order rushed, please ask if this is a possibility before purchasing!
Each tool set includes the following:
Spreading board
Box of 100 #4 tempered steel entomology pins in a storage box
Rehydration sponge
Two 2” x 3” wing spreading glass slides in a storage envelope
Professional repair adhesive and applicator
A little treat!
You will need to provide a small amount of water and a container (any zip-lock bag, tupperware, etc. that you already have on hand) and specimens to create a project.
Choose your specimen(s) here! Specimens are now sold à la carte. If you need to purchase instructions for your specimen, those can be found at the same link.
Parts of the tool sets may vary slightly in size because I cut the boards and glass slides by hand and assemble everything myself! Each tool set is made to order in my brand new BIG sunlit loft in Chicago. Your purchase will ship packed in a combination of recycled and new materials in order to ensure it arrives safely. Please recycle when possible.
