Arthropod Collection

It is an interesting change of pace and direction to work with the Arthropod Collection from time to time.  The collection is held in a temperature/humidity controlled environment.  When I am working on display cases, I work under Sarah T's direction and guidance.  We are working towards making a range of display cases of insects, suitable for schools, that are based around different themes: the biggest, brightest, longest, best camouflaged and so on.

There are quite a number of boxes of insects that are available for use in focused display cases.
