This dead insect collection package offers 10 different insect Orders, containing 15 families, and 15 species per the table below. All specimens ship between layers of soft tissue paper within small plastic specimen cups with lids, securely overboxed with cardboard boxes. We include a few duplicated specimens for you to practice pinning (Sorry, no special requests as to which ones you get as freebies).

Orders ship Monday through Wednesday, the shipping day following order placement. Wed-Sun orders ship on Monday. Mon ships Tues. Tues ships Wed.

Specimens with an asterisk (*) ship in preserving liquid of 70% alcohol and water. These and all the other specimens are usually collected within the last calendar year and have been stored in the freezer to maintain both their appearance and, when thawed, their flexibility. That means no chemicals (relaxing fluid) are typically required. If needed, you can put them in water that has been boiled and set to the side for a few moments. If you don't plan to use the thawed specimens on arrival, simply place them back in the freezer.
