Insect collections!

Hello everyone.

I've started a series on the importance and relevance of insect collection, why we have them and why have massive collections.

The series will continue in the weeks to come with more videos on collecting insects, preparing the specimens and curating a collection.

Here is the first video in the series:

Absolutely Wonderful video and collection

Nice, it's always good to stress the importance of collecting insects, not just taking pictures. I read a good article on it once, I think it was called the "case for collecting". As a collector myself, it's nice to see others who agree. My collection is now just over 1000 specimens. I have recently added more pictures to the gallery if you are interested.
I collect a little of everything with a main interest in USA moths and worldwide Saturniidae.
