Insect Collection

Insect collection is the practice of gathering and preserving insects for scientific study or personal interest. Collectors often use nets, traps, or hand-picking techniques to catch insects in various habitats. After capture, insects are typically killed humanely and then pinned or stored in display cases to maintain their appearance. This process allows researchers to study insect diversity, behavior, and ecology, contributing to our understanding of ecosystems. Insect collections are valuable for education, conservation efforts, and scientific research, providing insights into biodiversity and the role of insects in the environment.
